Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW R 1250 GS Adventure 2024
The big GS Adventure is and remains a great motorbike for any terrain - even for tight corners. The low centre of gravity of the boxer engine, the longitudinally mounted crankshaft, the upright seating position and the powerful but easily controllable torque from far below are simply a force. Although the Adventure version has a higher seat with more weight, which is a decisive hindrance when turning or manoeuvring, in terms of performance the engine also has so much punch in the big GS Adventure that you can let it rip. The BMW's braking system is stable and excellently controllable, and the equipment and electronics can be upgraded considerably - as long as you tick the boxes on the order list. Of course, this pushes up the price, but the many fans of the fat GS Adventure obviously don't mind.
KTM 1390 Super Adventure S EVO 2026
With the 1390 Adventure S EVO, KTM demonstrates what is technically possible, incorporating new and improved comfort features – such as a wonderfully smooth-running automatic gearbox, adaptive cruise control and semi-active suspension into a bike that, after ten model years, is extremely well-developed and undoubtedly ranks among the sportiest touring enduro bikes. Whether you’re out for a relaxed ride, even with a passenger, or racing with a knife between your teeth on your way to the ‘King of the Pass’ – the SAS is living proof that comfort and sportiness are not mutually exclusive.
