BMW F 750 GS 2021

BMW F 750 GS 2021

Anyone who regards the BMW F 750 GS merely as an entry-level bike is doing it an injustice. Although the low seat height, easy handling and pleasant engine response are indeed suitable for beginners, the "small" GS is also a lot of fun for advanced riders. The possibility of raising the F 750 GS to the level of an upper-class bike with all kinds of luxury features is unique and makes it the ultimate wolf in sheep's clothing.

KTM 1090 Adventure 2018

KTM 1090 Adventure 2018

The KTM 1090 Adventure is a huge step away from its predecessor, the 1050 Adventure, towards its bigger sisters. The electronics package with adjustable riding modes, traction control and ABS remains at the already high level, but the engine now has 125 hp, around a third (!) more than the 1050. Almost more importantly, it can now rev freely to over 10,000 rpm and thus offers a more usable rev band. You will hardly find a more balanced bike in the class of still reasonably priced large touring enduros.

Very powerful, cultivated engine with wide rev range

performance modes

ABS can be switched off

adjustable traction control

agile and safe handling

adjustable ergonomics

height-adjustable windshield

low weight

comparatively low price.
