BMW F 800 GS 2024

BMW F 800 GS 2024

The new BMW F800GS impresses as a versatile adventure bike with balanced handling, a powerful engine and beginner-friendly accessibility. It offers riding pleasure and comfort in equal measure and is a stand-alone choice for all-round fans.

harmonious handling

practical engine

low seat height

versatile

beginner-friendly but not boring

wide range of customisation options

good balance between comfort and dynamics

Limited freedom of movement on benches with low seat height

brakes fatigue under extreme loads

KTM 1090 Adventure 2018

KTM 1090 Adventure 2018

The KTM 1090 Adventure is a huge step away from its predecessor, the 1050 Adventure, towards its bigger sisters. The electronics package with adjustable riding modes, traction control and ABS remains at the already high level, but the engine now has 125 hp, around a third (!) more than the 1050. Almost more importantly, it can now rev freely to over 10,000 rpm and thus offers a more usable rev band. You will hardly find a more balanced bike in the class of still reasonably priced large touring enduros.

Very powerful, cultivated engine with wide rev range

performance modes

ABS can be switched off

adjustable traction control

agile and safe handling

adjustable ergonomics

height-adjustable windshield

low weight

comparatively low price.

Optics seem outdated by the new 1290 Super Adventures
