BMW F 650 GS 2009

When it comes to optional extras, accessories and driver equipment, BMW is the benchmark for us. The driver can have his vehicle configured exactly to his wishes and also order the matching clothing at the same time.

Manoeuvrability

agility

low seat height can be reduced again

heated grips

comfortable seat

resale value.

Wind protection somewhat suboptimal compared to the F800.

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
