Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 390 Enduro R 2025
The KTM 390 Enduro Bike R is exactly what many have been missing for a lengthy period of time: a true dual-sport machine that does not take refuge in extremes. It is neither an uncompromising hard enduro nor a stud-trimmed naked bike, but a versatile tool for everyday use, travelling and off-road. Easy to handle, agile enough for country roads, comfortable enough for longer distances and equipped with a suspension that also makes ambitious off-road riding possible. It does have minor weaknesses such as its noticeable weight, slight vibrations or a snappy rear brake - but these are relativised by the attractive price. Anyone who values versatility more than technical perfection in a single area will find the 390 Enduro R a well thought-out, modern and very balanced A2 bike.
BMW F 450 GS 2026
The BMW F 450 GS Trophy is far more than just a scaled-down version of the full-size GS. It combines accessible A2-licence-friendly power with a surprising amount of riding pleasure, high-quality features and genuine adventure flair. The new twin-cylinder engine impresses with its character, whilst the Easy Ride Clutch noticeably makes everyday riding and light off-road riding easier, without taking control away from the rider. The little GS is particularly at home on winding roads, gravel tracks and rough mountain passes. Its limitations become apparent at motorway speeds, during heavy off-road use, when carrying a payload and in terms of wind protection. Nevertheless, there’s a surprising amount of GS in the F 450 – a well-rounded everyday and touring companion for beginners, those returning to motorcycling and experienced riders who deliberately want to avoid excessive weight and power.
