KTM motorcycles
Twelve KTM models on the books, from the 125 SMC R at €5,299 to the 1390 Super Duke R at €21,999, scored between 45.9 and 68.3 out of 100. Scores are computed within each bike's own class, so the small bikes are ranked against their own rivals rather than against their bigger siblings; the KTM that does best in its class is the 390 SMC R at 68.3. The 125 SMC R is the lightest at 152 kg wet and the cheapest at €5,299; the 1390 Super Duke R is the longest between oil services at 15,000 km. Scheduled servicing runs from roughly €210 per 10,000 km on the 790 Duke to €255 on the 125 SMC R, on the workshop rates published with every maintenance guide. The most powerful is the 1390 Super Duke R with 190 hp, which the formula weighs against weight, price and running costs rather than taking at face value. Every figure comes from a spec sheet and feeds the same 100-point formula, so the order below is arithmetic rather than brand loyalty. Each card links to the bike's maintenance guide and its closest head to heads, and the table underneath puts the whole range in one place.
