KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2019

The KTM 1290 Super Adventure S is more than a sporty touring enduro - it is a sports machine that can also go on tours. The powerful 160 hp engine is not only extremely powerful, it is also very easy to operate and makes you want to ride sportily. The many electronic assistance systems such as traction control, semi-active chassis, various modes and cornering ABS also contribute to making you feel right at home on the 1290 Super Adventure S. Finally, the huge TFT display and other gadgets such as the Race-on system or My Ride are also quite convincing.

Triumph Bonneville T120 Black 2017

Triumph Bonneville T120 Black 2017

Keeping a motorbike model technically up to date for over 60 years without visually departing much from its origins is an enormous challenge - which Triumph has mastered brilliantly with the Bonneville T120 Black. The larger 1200cc engine, the electronics and many modern details have been wonderfully embedded in the old school look. The performance is impressive, but the focus is still on cosiness and that certain flair that defines a Bonnie. And here Triumph has once again hit the bull's eye amidst the many retro attempts of the competition.

Powerful engine with decent torque

comfortable seating position

good brakes

wonderfully authentic look

Suspension only adjustable in spring preload at the rear

unnecessary, but also not annoying performance modes
