Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2022

The R variant of the 1290 Super Adventure is one of the most luxurious options for long tours that don't end on paved roads. Plenty of power is available at all times and the rally look immediately evokes wanderlust. The WP suspension can cope with almost any conceivable surface, but it has to be adjusted manually and you also have to do without the distance cruise control.

Very sporty, but also cultivated V2 power plant

extremely playful handling despite high weight

driving-friendly seating position

good brakes including cornering ABS

comprehensive electronics package

clear, well-structured instruments with huge 7-inch display.

Gearshift assistant at extra cost

higher price than for the S despite fewer features

Yamaha Tenere 700 Rally Edition 2020

It's no secret that the Ténéré 700 impresses with its simple, solid design. With the special "Rally" model, the Japanese are upgrading the touring enduro, which is particularly popular with off-road fans, in precisely this direction. Dakar styling, robust protective elements and Akrapovic rear silencer really make a statement. Plus the familiar Ténéré virtues. Makes you want to go on a trip around the world.

High-torque, reliable engine

Robustness and simplicity

Sharp Dakar look

Playfully easy handling.

Hard seat

Seat height challenging for small riders
