Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 790 Adventure R 2019

The Adventure R goes one step further than the standard model. Here, the WP guys were finally able to draw on their full resources and show what they can do. The higher-quality chassis compensates for the disadvantages of the long suspension travel on the road, but scores points off-road with massive reserves. The surcharge is more than justified. The seat height will probably restrict the clientele somewhat.

High chassis quality ensures a wide range of use

Engine offers great running culture, rich torque and perfectly dimensioned power

Easy-to-read display

Practical rally electronics package

Despite radical chassis also stable, manoeuvrable and suitable for everyday use on the road

Quickshifter not standard

indicator switch a little fiddly

seat a little more uncomfortable on long tours than on standard model

Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 2024

The Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 is a sporty naked bike with modern Advanced Rider Assistance Systems that shines particularly well on winding roads. Its lively engine and firm suspension make it agile and dynamic, but somewhat demanding on long lengths. For riders looking for a retro look with modern technology and sporty riding performance, it is an exciting but demanding choice.

Great two-cylinder engine with power in all situations

outstanding electronics for the class (partly at extra charge)

Quickshifter standard

good workmanship

coherent overall package

low fuel consumption

visual highlights (rear frame, exhaust)

good price-performance ratio

agile handling

precise brakes

versatile use

A little unsettled at low revs
