CFMOTO 650 GT 2021

How much luxury do you actually need on a modern touring bike? Well, if CF-Moto has its way, not too much, but still a good motorbike for touring. The seating position on the 650 GT is ergonomically successful, so it can also please on long distances, and the comparatively weak engine at least revs up agilely, so you don't really lack power either. Only two riding modes (which do not differ too much from each other), conventional ABS and a continuously variable windshield that can be adjusted in height without tools have to suffice as "comfort features" - and actually they do. Only the chassis has to put up with criticism; in curves it sways more than the sporty rest of the machine deserves.
KTM 1090 Adventure 2018

The KTM 1090 Adventure is a huge step away from its predecessor, the 1050 Adventure, towards its bigger sisters. The electronics package with adjustable riding modes, traction control and ABS remains at the already high level, but the engine now has 125 hp, around a third (!) more than the 1050. Almost more importantly, it can now rev freely to over 10,000 rpm and thus offers a more usable rev band. You will hardly find a more balanced bike in the class of still reasonably priced large touring enduros.
