KTM 790 Adventure 2023

KTM 790 Adventure 2023

The KTM 790 Adventure is still one of the sportiest mid-range touring enduros - if you are looking for a touring machine that is brutally nimble on and off road, you will find it here. At the same time, however, the chassis and engine offer sufficient comfort and good manners to keep the rider from going mad even on longer liaison stages. The engine is wonderfully powerful for this class, fuel consumption is surprisingly low and the driving aids are even on a higher level than usual. The ergonomics are fine on the road, the off-road ergonomics could even be a little less radical. Overall, however, the 790 Adventure offers a really good price/performance ratio and great riding performance.

Rev-happy engine with impressive power

low fuel consumption

excellent traction control regulation

effective wind protection with a wide range of settings

logical controls

agile handling

precise ride

effective brakes

comfortable on-road ergonomics

well-dosed clutch.

sporty Quickshifter+ only at extra cost

Suzuki V-Strom 650 2024

Suzuki V-Strom 650 2024

The small V-Strom 650 is not only visually close to the big V-Strom 1000 with its pronounced duckbill, stacked headlights and extensive instruments. The equipment does not correspond at all to what is understood by "cheap entry": traction control, lively Euro4 engine, harmonious handling and additional techno-gadgets such as Low RPM Assist or Suzuki Easy Start System. To the delight of the customers, the price is kept within reasonable limits.

Lively, economical engine

balanced handling

good wind protection

traction control and ABS as standard

looks in the style of its big sister

extensive instrumentation with gear indicator

12-volt socket in the cockpit area

good price.

Traction control in mode 2 very restrictive
