KTM 790 Adventure R 2019

KTM 790 Adventure R 2019

The Adventure R goes one step further than the standard model. Here, the WP guys were finally able to draw on their full resources and show what they can do. The higher-quality chassis compensates for the disadvantages of the long suspension travel on the road, but scores points off-road with massive reserves. The surcharge is more than justified. The seat height will probably restrict the clientele somewhat.

High chassis quality ensures a wide range of use

Engine offers great running culture, rich torque and perfectly dimensioned power

Easy-to-read display

Practical rally electronics package

Despite radical chassis also stable, manoeuvrable and suitable for everyday use on the road

Quickshifter not standard

indicator switch a little fiddly

seat a little more uncomfortable on long tours than on standard model

Moto Guzzi V85 TT 2024

Moto Guzzi V85 TT 2024

Do owners of an older V85 TT now have to switch? Of course not, but the extensive changes for the 2024 model year were sensible, the engine looks a little more "grown-up" and the lean angle-dependent Advanced Rider Assistance Systems are beneficial to riding safety. All in all, the classically beautiful Moto Guzzi V85 TT - or Strada and TT Travel - is still a wonderful touring motorbike that feels most at home on the road and is made for relaxed cruising, although it can also take corners with real agility and of course also masters easier off-road passages. All this, combined with its iconic appearance and the unique selling point in its vehicle class of a low-maintenance cardan transmission, make it a real alternative in the mid-range enduro and adventure touring segment.
