KTM 790 Adventure 2019

In my eyes, the KTM is the sportiest of all mid-range touring enduros. If you are looking for a touring machine that is brutally nippy on road and off-road, you will find it here. At the same time, however, the chassis and engine offer sufficient comfort and good manners to keep the rider from going mad even on longer liaison stages.

Engine with manners AND character

Enormously high chassis stability

Brakes without reproach

Tremendous off-road capabilities

Low average consumption.

Unattractive surcharge policy

original seat not optimally shaped

Yamaha Tenere 700 2023

Yamaha Tenere 700 2023

The Yamaha Tenere 700 is an adventure bike that performs brilliantly, especially in the second part of its category. The Japanese bike is a force off-road. But it also functions satisfactorily as a touring vehicle. The chassis is comfortable enough, the wind protection is there. The seat is a little too spartan, but the engine is ideally suited for long journeys. The Tenere offers sufficient space and power for two, and the chassis also has enough reserves for the additional load. However, the brakes are overtaxed by the additional weight in some riding situations. However, as long as you don't leave the cosy touring mode, the Yamaha Tenere 700 also makes two people happy.

Motor very comfortable in continuous operation

relaxed riding position

Wind protection available

Suspension sufficiently comfortable

Engine with sufficient power even with two riders

Enough space for average pillion rider

No "ABS-OFF" button available any more

Annoying menu operation

Slightly jerky throttle response

Brake overtaxed in some situations with two riders

Seat uncomfortable in the long run
