Pros and Cons in comparison

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

Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS 2025

The Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS 2025 is an impressive overall package that is particularly impressive due to its versatility.

The power increase to 183 Horsepower and 128 Newton meters in combination with the revised crankshaft balancing ensures a cultivated, yet emotional driving experience.
