Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW R 1250 GS Adventure 2020
The big GS Adventure is and remains a great motorbike for any terrain - even for tight corners. The low centre of gravity of the boxer engine, the longitudinally mounted crankshaft, the upright seating position and the powerful but easily controllable torque from far below are simply a force. Although the Adventure version has a higher seat with more weight, which is a decisive hindrance when turning or manoeuvring, in terms of performance the engine also has so much punch in the big GS Adventure that you can let it rip. The BMW's braking system is stable and excellently controllable, and the equipment and electronics can be upgraded considerably - as long as you tick the boxes on the order list. Of course, this pushes up the price, but the many fans of the fat GS Adventure obviously don't mind.
KTM 390 Adventure 2020
The KTM 390 Adventure: The all-rounder in this class and a real value-for-money winner. The high-quality electronics package, the aggressive riding position and the powerful single-cylinder make it a pure fun machine that takes inexperienced off-road riders firmly by the hand. No matter what surface you're riding on - the 390 Adventure is simply always fun! Whether you need more KTM Adventure is, of course, the next question... but we will clarify that in another test report.
