Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW S 1000 R 2017
BMW's universal talent also got better in 2017. The BMW offers the widest range of use and an exceptionally cultivated engine, a perfect gearbox and the best shift assistant in the field. It drives simply but quickly. You sit rather low in the vehicle.
KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2017
The 1290 Super Adventure R is supposed to be the new off-road flagship of the KTM Adventure range - and it is! It's amazing how easy it is to move 240 kilos off-road with a full tank. The off-road mode is also largely convincing. On the other hand, as on the 1290 Super Adventure S, the full 160 hp and 140 Newton metres of torque as well as all comfort features (apart from the electronically adjustable suspension) are available on the R version: Four performance modes (Sport, Street, Rain and Offroad), cornering ABS, traction control, cruise control, keyless race-on system and the mobile phone management "My Ride". This means that the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R actually combines four motorbikes in one - and thus justifies the proud price.
