Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW F 850 GS Adventure 2022
Packed with technical features and additional equipment, the "small" Adventure is a high-tech machine. The many functions work well, and our testers were particularly impressed by the electronic chassis and the silky-smooth running of the engine. The Asian origin of the engine is not noticeable. The larger tank of the Adventure version and all the accessories drive up both the weight and the price. At 244 kg, the BMW F 850 GS Adventure is a bulky lump, which doesn't please everyone. But the ergonomics are top-notch, and the seating position in the wide fairing conveys a feeling of safety and protection.
KTM 390 Adventure R 2025
The 390 Adventure has never been so uncompromisingly trimmed for off-road use. With powerful travel, modern electronics and less than 180 kg, the 390 Adventure R could be the long sought-after, all-rounder among touring enduros. It can easily conquer motorway stages, be chased through twisties or transmitted over hill and dale. But there is a potential catch: the engine taken from the 390 Duke is also very hungry for revs in the Adventure R. This results in constant shifting and hardly any spontaneous propulsion. This can be particularly annoying in enduro bike mode. So whether the KTM 390 Adventure R can fulfil long-standing desires remains a matter of taste.
