KTM 990 Adventure 2008

The KTM Adventure is the best cure for all frustrated superbike riders. Anyone who has lost the joy of road riding in recent years and confines their motorbike activities exclusively to the racetrack will soon find a KTM Adventure in their garage.

Sporty, powerful engine

sporty gearbox

uncompromising chassis

comfortable seating position

ABS.

Riding comfort lower than on other touring enduros

overall set-up very sporty

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2017

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2017

Still sensational. It scores with the familiar Honda virtues, but never gets stale. A motorbike that goes with you through thick and thin and doesn't tire even on extra-long tours. Very robust off-road, also copes with really tough passages without any problems. Still the benchmark for touring enduros in 2017.

Comfortable but not boring

Pleasant and perfectly dimensioned engine

Seat height a tad lower than on the KTM- from 175cm height it could work

Suspension elements do everything off-road, but are too comfortably tuned at high speeds

traction control is annoying off-road - always has to be readjusted after every short break.
