KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2023

KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2023

The KTM 1290 Super Adventure S is anything but old-fashioned. The Euro5 engine continues to shine incredibly with its 160 hp and the awesome torque of 138 Newton metres. The refined electronics ensure an even smoother ride, which, thanks to the wonderfully agile handling, results in a lot of fun when cornering. But the new SASi also has a lot to offer comfort freaks and all those who value the touring qualities of this type of motorbike. A nice, standard feature is the adaptive cruise control ACC, which independently keeps the distance to the vehicle in front - and works really well. In any case, the Quickshifter+ or the all-inclusive TechPack is recommended - at this basic price, the 1300 euro surcharge is not that much of a burden.

Very sporty, but also cultivated V2 power plant

extremely playful handling despite high weight

comfortable, driving-friendly seating position

good brakes including cornering ABS

comprehensive electronics package

adaptive cruise control ACC

clear, well-structured instrumentation with huge 7-inch display

Gearshift assistant and other features at extra cost

idiosyncratic look

stiff seat bench

Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE+ 2019

Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE+ 2019

The Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE+ is clearly the spearhead of Kawa's sports touring range, at least when it comes to performance, technology and extravagant design! Just like its siblings, the H2 in the tourer version with electronic chassis knows how to shine with a polarising design. Once attracted to the engine's supercharger, the incredible boost pressure won't let you escape its spell! The H2 is clearly a superlative sports tourer - through and through. Certainly not everyone's cup of tea. However, if you are into performance and long tours, this bike is probably one of the best choices on the market! Provided you have the budget to afford this admittedly not very cheap machine. In relation to what you get, however, the price Kawasaki charges is more than fair.

The non plus ultra in technology meets 200 lush horsepower

Incredibly potent and powerful engine - in every area!

Boost pressure, boost pressure, boost pressure

Electronic chassis works like a dream on the machine

Through and through a motorbike of superlatives

Almost "too sporty" for a sports tourer

unfortunately, a lot also costs a lot...
