KTM 1090 Adventure 2018

The KTM 1090 Adventure is a huge step away from its predecessor, the 1050 Adventure, towards its bigger sisters. The electronics package with adjustable riding modes, traction control and ABS remains at the already high level, but the engine now has 125 hp, around a third (!) more than the 1050. Almost more importantly, it can now rev freely to over 10,000 rpm and thus offers a more usable rev band. You will hardly find a more balanced bike in the class of still reasonably priced large touring enduros.
Kawasaki Z900 RS 2020

The Kawasaki Z900 RS is the perfect blend of classic design and modern technology. The silky-smooth four-cylinder engine offers linear power delivery and impressive elasticity in all rev ranges. The suspension combines comfort and stability, ideal for long distances and sporty rides. Despite the lack of wind protection, the Z900 RS impresses with a comfortable riding position and agile handling characteristics. Visually, it is reminiscent of the legendary Z1, while modern features such as traction control and high-quality workmanship round off the overall package. For anyone looking for a retro look with modern performance, the Z900 RS is a reliable and versatile companion - both for everyday use and when touring.
