Royal Enfield Himalayan 2020

The workmanship is of a surprisingly high standard for a motorbike that can be had in Germany and Austria for under 5,000 euros. Everything about the little Himalayan looks like it was built to last. Of course, the little Indian can't compete with others in terms of performance data, but it doesn't want to. It is a motorbike for individualists who want to escape society's higher, faster, further - deceleration of the first order.

In my opinion, the KTM 1050 Adventure picks up where the 990 Adventure left off a few years ago: Around 100 hp of power, playful handling and as much or as little electronics as is currently state-of-the-art. The engine is anything but weak, ABS and traction control regulate safely and inconspicuously and the handling is extremely fun-oriented, partly because of the relatively narrow tyres. And all this at a price that is only undercut by a few competitors in the league of big touring enduros. Sad as it may be, the two 1190 Adventures and, above all, the flagship 1290 Super Adventure, have soared in price to very high levels. And that is precisely why the KTM 1050 Adventure is perhaps the most coherent of the four Adventure models.
