In terms of strengths, the KTM 1050 Adventure offers a powerful and refined engine, with disengageable ABS and adjustable traction control. It also has agile handling, adjustable ergonomics, and a height-adjustable windshield. Additionally, it has a relatively low weight and a comparatively affordable price. The Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin offers a comfortable riding experience with a well-dimensioned engine. It also has a slightly lower seat height, making it more accessible for riders of shorter stature.
However, the KTM 1050 Adventure does have some weaknesses. The rev limiter kicks in at 8500 revs, which may limit its performance in certain situations. The chassis is also considered to be a little too soft for off-road use. On the other hand, the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin's suspension elements are well-suited for off-road riding but are too comfortably tuned at high speeds. The traction control system on the Honda can be annoying off-road as it needs to be readjusted after every short break.
In conclusion, both the KTM 1050 Adventure 2016 and the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2017 offer powerful engines and versatile performance. The KTM has a larger bore and offers more power and torque, while the Honda offers a comfortable riding experience and a slightly lower seat height. Both motorcycles have their strengths and weaknesses, and the choice between them ultimately depends on the rider's preferences and priorities.

KTM 1050 Adventure 2016
In my opinion, the KTM 1050 Adventure picks up where the 990 Adventure left off a few years ago: Around 100 hp of power, playful handling and as much or as little electronics as is currently state-of-the-art. The engine is anything but weak, ABS and traction control regulate safely and inconspicuously and the handling is extremely fun-oriented, partly because of the relatively narrow tyres. And all this at a price that is only undercut by a few competitors in the league of big touring enduros. Sad as it may be, the two 1190 Adventures and, above all, the flagship 1290 Super Adventure, have soared in price to very high levels. And that is precisely why the KTM 1050 Adventure is perhaps the most coherent of the four Adventure models.
Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2017
Still sensational. It scores with the familiar Honda virtues, but never gets stale. A motorbike that goes with you through thick and thin and doesn't tire even on extra-long tours. Very robust off-road, also copes with really tough passages without any problems. Still the benchmark for touring enduros in 2017.
