KTM 890 SMT 2024

KTM 890 SMT 2024

The KTM 890 SMT is a bike that oscillates between two worlds - too sporty for touring riders, too heavy for real supermoto fans. But this niche is precisely where its appeal lies: if you are looking for an agile, touring bike with supermoto genes, the 890 SMT is a real fun machine that boldly defies the mainstream. Despite minor weaknesses in terms of comfort and image, it is an insider tip for individualists - and is currently particularly attractive thanks to discounts.

Unique concept: Supermoto meets touring

Agile handling: Surprisingly manoeuvrable for its weight

Powerful engine: Powerful 889 cubic centimetre two-cylinder engine

Sporty riding position: Front-wheel orientated, lots of riding pleasure

Solid comfort: Suitable for touring shorter distances

Unclear target group: Neither touring nor pure supermoto

Vibrations: Noticeable from approx. 80 km/h

Moderate wind protection: Windscreen hardly provides any protection

BMW F 700 GS 2016

BMW F 700 GS 2016

The smaller of the two F GS sisters, the F 700 GS convinces with a successful overall performance. It looks like its big sister, but at its core it is more of a lively naked bike than a big enduro. The fact that the bike has outgrown the entry-level segment can be seen in the braking system - with two brake discs at the front, it is on a par with its big 800 sister and now decelerates just as confidently. In terms of the chassis, it convinces with good suspension comfort and at the same time a firm set-up in tight bends. Upgrading is never a problem with BMW; in addition to traction control, there is also the electronic suspension ESA for the F 700 GS.
