KTM 890 Adventure 2022

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.

Proven and confident engine

comparatively low weight

improved chassis

more comfortable seat

combination of riding modes and ABS setting

quickshifter works excellently

Made in Austria.

Windshield not adjustable

too little suspension travel for hard terrain

many useful extras at extra cost

BMW F 900 R 2021

BMW F 900 R 2021

The BMW F 900 R is a full-grown motorbike. 895 cc, 105 hp and 92 Nm smell of versatility. The F 900 R fulfils this promise completely. The motorbike, including electronics and components, does a great job in every situation. But of all things, the heart of the bike, the engine and transmission unit, does not shine in premium gloss.

Great cockpit and functional connectivity

Extensive electronics can be operated logically

Very accessible but still very casual handling

Motorcycle rides bland and reserved but also wild and sporty when needed

Pleasant seating position

Wide choice of equipment and configuration options

Low and high seat options available

Suspension allows wide range of use - comfortable but also direct and precise.

Gearstick a little stiff - with and without quickshifter

Engine runs a little rough and exudes little elegance at the top

Poor splash guard at the rear
