Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda XL750 Transalp 2023

Honda XL750 Transalp 2023

The Transalp had to prove itself in several tests at 1000PS in 2023. Surprisingly, it scored particularly well in the pillion test on Tenerife. Its accessible nature makes motorcycling easy. You can enjoy the ride and the landscape. The machine offers a surprising amount of sportiness with a very accessible character. All in all, the Transalp is a great all-rounder.

Sporty engine that is also very accessible Wonderfully easy-to-operate engine with butter-smooth clutch

Engine feels very revvy

Precise transmission

great comfort and plenty of space for pillion

Sporty engine - yet low fuel consumption

Switches and dashboard are generally robust

Economical engine

good price/performance ratio

great stability

strong practicality

Driver assistance systems have to manage without IMU - therefore very defensive control

Suspension offers too little adjustment range

no cruise control available

KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2021

KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2021

The Super Adventure R presented itself as a great adventure motorbike during the intensive test in the Pyrenees. It offered a great combination of long-distance comfort and off-road capability. You won't find this combination in this consistency on any other motorbike. Above all, the chassis is tough and presented itself from its best side in tough terrain. Of course, only very few riders will actually ride this monster properly - but in rough terrain, "having" has always been better than "needing".

Robust overall impression

high-quality and practical chassis

great seat for a lot of endurance in the saddle

sporty and high-quality components

powerful but easy-to-control engine

practical riding aids.

The high-priced motorbike lacks individual features in the basic equipment

fiddly controls
