With the KTM 890 Duke R slated to disappear in favor of the 990 Duke, we felt it was only right to send it off with one final shootout. This time we paired it with its European rivals in the form of the Ducati Streetfighter V2, MV Agusta Brutale 800RR, and Triumph Street Triple 765RS, and rode them hard on both the street and the racetrack to see if the mighty Duke still had what it takes to go out on top before its curtain closes for good.

Don't forget to read the written shootout, too. You can find that over on Motorcycle.com, or copy/paste this link: https://www.motorcycle.com/bikes/shoo...
