Pros and Cons in comparison

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

KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2021

The Super Adventure R presented itself as a great adventure motorbike during the intensive test in the Pyrenees. It offered a great combination of long-distance comfort and off-road capability. You won't find this combination in this consistency on any other motorbike. Above all, the chassis is tough and presented itself from its best side in tough terrain. Of course, only very few riders will actually ride this monster properly - but in rough terrain, "having" has always been better than "needing".

Robust overall impression

high-quality and practical chassis

great seat for a lot of endurance in the saddle

sporty and high-quality components

powerful but easy-to-control engine

practical riding aids.

The high-priced motorbike lacks individual features in the basic equipment

fiddly controls
