KTM 1050 Adventure 2015

KTM 1050 Adventure 2015

The KTM 1050 Adventure picks up where the 990 Adventure left off a few years ago: Around 100 hp of power, playful handling and as much or as little electronics as is currently state-of-the-art. The engine is anything but weak, ABS and traction control regulate safely and inconspicuously and the handling is extremely fun-oriented, partly because of the relatively narrow tyres. And all this at a price that is only undercut by a few competitors in the league of big touring enduros. Sad as it may be, the two 1190 Adventures and, above all, the flagship 1290 Super Adventure, have soared in price to very high levels. And that is precisely why the KTM 1050 Adventure is perhaps the most coherent of the four Adventure models.

Husqvarna Norden 901 2022

During the test in the USA, the Husqvarna was exposed to probably the toughest test conditions. The tour led through deserts, up high mountains and through scorching hot valleys. Highways as well as hectic city traffic had to be negotiated. In the end, the Norden 901 proved to be a likeable, reliable and thoroughly successful adventure motorbike that is a pleasure to travel with.
