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.
Triumph Tiger Sport 2015

The Triumph Tiger Sport 1050 is an extremely versatile bike. The ergonomics are in the sweet spot between sporty and touring and the suspension also manages this balancing act very well. The star and number one source of joy is definitely the powerful three-cylinder engine, which in this first generation of the Tiger Sport without an electronic safety net definitely demands an experienced or cautious touch on the throttle. It performs very well in all disciplines. It is in touring mode that it loses the most due to the lack of all comfort features. If you want something like this, you have to reach for Tiger Sport models from 2016 onwards.
