Conclusion - buy or not?
Sun. Just take a look at the basics. KTM-typical just as well processed as KTM-typical with 12,399 Euro rather not quite so cheap, comes here with the Adventure 790 a bike, which seems to belong to a new subgroup of adventures. These, namely, who have obtained their racer DNA, but do not want to stand out negatively in terms of comfort or transport capacity with the wife of the buyer /purchases*rin (where does this "*" belong again?).The Ducati Hyperstrada or the Yamaha 900 Tracer GT compete for the same audience. If you like this, with the Adventure you get a bike for exactly these moments in life, where you might need a mummy, but you prefer not to drink to do another round. Thumbs up, then.
We thank M.A.S. in Wilster for renting the test bike.
