Yamaha Tenere 700 World Rally 2023 vs. KTM 990 Adventure S 2009

Yamaha Tenere 700 World Rally 2023

Robust, balanced and user-friendly - this is how the slightly modified sister of the Yamaha Ténéré 700 World Raid can be described. If you want to, you can also conquer tougher off-road terrain with it, but if you don't have to cover long distances, you will prefer the lightness of the standard Tenere 700. The wide tank of the World Rally is noticeable in the ergonomics and handling. The soft suspension, on the other hand, copes well with tough off-road terrain and, thanks to the steering damper, the bike remains very stable even on fast-flowing dirt tracks. The complicated procedure for deactivating the ABS is annoying in the long run; a simple "off" button would be nice. In keeping with its name, the World Rally is particularly suitable for long-distance travellers and is very well thought out in this respect with a long range and plenty of (off-road) comfort.
