KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2017
The 1290 Super Adventure R is supposed to be the new off-road flagship of the KTM Adventure range - and it is! It's amazing how easy it is to move 240 kilos off-road with a full tank. The off-road mode is also largely convincing. On the other hand, as on the 1290 Super Adventure S, the full 160 hp and 140 Newton metres of torque as well as all comfort features (apart from the electronically adjustable suspension) are available on the R version: Four performance modes (Sport, Street, Rain and Offroad), cornering ABS, traction control, cruise control, keyless race-on system and the mobile phone management "My Ride". This means that the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R actually combines four motorbikes in one - and thus justifies the proud price.
Ducati Hypermotard 950 2019
A true poser bike that does not have to hide on the country road. On the Ducati Hypermotard, you automatically feel cooler - from the moment you fire up the magnificent V2 to the moment you get off the saddle completely exhausted. Compared to other supermotos, the Ducati Hypermotard 950 needs to be ridden with determination, and that demands constant concentration. But it rewards this with brutal acceleration and a stable cornering position - no matter what speed. If you want to take an even sportier approach and perhaps make a detour to the race track now and then, you should go for the SP version. But for self-confident country road hunters, an excellent choice!
