Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha Tenere 700 2019

Compared to the sporty single-cylinder competition from KTM or Husqvarna, which you first have to make suitable for touring with a windshield, larger tank, etc., the Twin offers a smoother ride and thus better long-distance capability, and compared to most two-cylinder competitors, with the exception of KTM's 790 Adventure, it offers more off-road capability. In any case, the Tenere 700 has become a real enrichment for the touring enduro segment, so it was worth the wait.

great, sporty look

playful handling

great engine

clean finish

fully adjustable chassis

low weight

BMW F 900 R 2020

The BMW F 900 R offers easy-to-use cornering fun, enormously high stability, an active yet comfortable riding position and a smooth but also unemotional engine. Those who like it fast and twisty will be happy with it. The possibilities for configuration are almost endless but of course not free of charge.
