KTM 1090 Adventure R 2017

That's exactly how a KTM should be. It feels sporty, but also offers a lot of comfort. Off-road, it was robust, reliable and fast. The chassis does everything, the braking as well. The electronic riding aids enable completely new sections for this weight class. If it weren't for the enormous seat height, it would be a terrific tip for many enduro riders.
BMW F 850 GS 2020

The BMW F 850 GS also scores points in 2022 with its pleasant ergonomics and accessible character. Operation is easy and you quickly feel comfortable on the motorbike. The longer the tour, the more you miss the finesse in the details. The damping of the fork is too lax and not adjustable. The engine gets a bit boring in the long run, and the gearstick and quickshifter are always stiff. In direct comparison with other touring enduros, it is always somewhat overshadowed by more exciting models.
