Honda NC750S 2014

We like to avoid talking about motorbikes as utility vehicles, but the NC 750 S is so useful that it makes that word likeable again. The storage compartment under the dummy tank is still unique and an ingenious feature of this naked bike that shines not with sportiness and action, but with almost perfect function and usability. With the additional riding modes, the DCT now works even better. A motorbike, not for stunt riders, but for city and country riders.

KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2017

The 1290 Super Adventure R is supposed to be the new off-road flagship of the KTM Adventure range - and it is! It's amazing how easy it is to move 240 kilos off-road with a full tank. The off-road mode is also largely convincing. On the other hand, as on the 1290 Super Adventure S, the full 160 hp and 140 Newton metres of torque as well as all comfort features (apart from the electronically adjustable suspension) are available on the R version: Four performance modes (Sport, Street, Rain and Offroad), cornering ABS, traction control, cruise control, keyless race-on system and the mobile phone management "My Ride". This means that the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R actually combines four motorbikes in one - and thus justifies the proud price.
