Pros and Cons in comparison

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.

Powerful engine

precise handling

traction control with fun factor

cornering ABS as standard

easy-to-read, huge TFT display

quickshifter

LED headlights with cornering lights

off-road capable.

High price

power-consuming height adjustment of the windshield

MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800 Lusso 2017

The Turismo Veloce brings typical MV Agusta qualities - elegant design, high-quality features and furious Italo character - to the touring segment. It combines sportiness and long-distance suitability very well, but demands a lot of attention. You have to want the extravagant appearance and the elegant look of the Italian diva, because that's what you pay for. The prices asked for used Turismo Veloce bikes are limited, but then you have to deal with the mediocre reliability and poor spare parts supply. Definitely a bike for extroverted lovers of racy Italian motorbikes.

Sharp looks

Semi-active suspension

Silky three-cylinder engine

Very agile handling

Killer engine sound

Extensive electronics package and features

Poor dealer structure

High list price

Poor spare parts supply

Technically not the most reliable bike
