KTM 890 Adventure 2022

It is still one of the sportiest touring enduros on the market. Hardly any other mid-range adventure bike with a 21-inch front wheel can be moved as fast, hard and precisely as the KTM. For 2023, it has been given a revised and now also adjustable chassis, which still fits the sporty character but provides a little more comfort in the saddle. The engine can now definitely be described as mature. With its powerful character, clean response and hardly any vibrations, the engine from Mattighofen has many fans. With the model update, new electronics have found their way onto the KTM. ABS and traction control now regulate even more sensitively and are better tuned to the riding modes. The new 5-inch display always provides a perfect overview.
Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE 2023

The Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE is more than equipped for the big journey: The many features pull together, because everything good about the SE is aimed at comfort and safety. Whether it's the semi-active electronic Skyhook suspension from Showa, the KIBS cornering ABS, the Kawasaki Cornering Management Function (KMCF), the cornering lights or the easy-to-read TFT colour display, the electronics leave nothing to be desired. Coupled with the comfortable seating position and the high, adjustable windshield, long stages are a pleasure. The engine is certainly not the most powerful, the weight certainly not the lowest, but overall the Versys 1000 SE is an optimal touring motorbike.
