KTM 390 Adventure 2021

KTM 390 Adventure 2021

The equipment and dimensions of the 390 Adventure show that KTM has by no means simply put a small, slimmed-down touring enduro on its wheels, but rather a (fully) worthy A2 licence-compatible motorbike that will give (re-)beginners just as much pleasure as those who are looking for an everyday bike and can do without performance in abundance. The sporty KTM takes you everywhere and is extremely fun to ride on curvy terrain thanks to its agility.

BMW R 1250 GS 2019

The BMW R 1250 GS is the logical further development of the R 1200 GS - logical above all because one should not expect such a popular motorbike to be radically changed. Accordingly, the design has been changed cautiously, and the familiar options for the chassis and electronics have been retained. The new name R 1250 GS, however, promises a new engine - and it really is something! 136 hp at 7750 rpm and a whopping 143 Newton metres of maximum torque at 6250 rpm are an absolute blast! BMW has thus renovated the big GS almost perfectly: it remains clearly recognisable, has a little more electronics as standard, a still long list of surcharges (which customers like to tick from A to Z) and a now even better and more sovereign power plant - what more could you want?!
