KTM 1290 Super Adventure 2016

KTM 1290 Super Adventure 2016

The 1290 Super Adventure is rightly presented by KTM as an adventure flagship. Packed with sophisticated electronics and almost everything you could possibly need in a big touring enduro, it recommends itself as expected for the long haul. What you don't immediately see from its bulky appearance, however, is that the Super Adventure, like its 1190 sisters, is an incredible fun machine. Especially in tight corners, it is unbelievable fun. The electronics control traction, chassis and engine management so unobtrusively that you can concentrate fully and above all safely on accelerating. On the intermediate straights, the 160 hp of power ensure that the 1290 Super Adventure can also meet sporting requirements and is thus hardly surpassed in terms of universality.

Yamaha MT-07 2021

Yamaha MT-07 2021

Simply casual motorcycling! The MT-07 conveys carefree joie de vivre and you love to waggle the lively machine through the bends. The engine is still a guarantee for riding fun. It's amazing how much fire blazes in this little part. Unfortunately, the chassis is still not really good. Together with the missing quickshifter, it is reminiscent of the Yamaha's mild price tag.

Great engine

Pleasant ergonomics

Transparent brake feel

Good price / performance ratio

Transparent handling

Good mix of cool and practical

Chassis finds its limits with a very sporty driving style
