And then there is the light section... 300-500? All would be valid groupings. Actual weight should determine it... in that case the Africa Twin Super Sports with its DCT should be on the large size.

I find it funny when in reviews people take Africa Twin Adventure Sports with DCT, complain that they took DCT and later they add that it is too tall... It is like I would take BMW F850GS and complain that it is too small for me (I'm quite tall). The ATAS is a bike for tall and you can point it but it is not a bad thing for everybody. Take riders that are well fitted for the bike next time. Next time you should exchange the bikes between each other to have a good comparison. Not to be only negativ (constructive) I have to say that it was well made and very interesting but not very convincing. Keep up good work

Do the slightly older Triumph Tiger 800's measure up to the one that was tested here?

Anyone with good sense chooses the bike based on their actual uses for it (and not their subconscious fantasy-life bias!). If you're going to ride on roads all the time or with a pillion (with the option to go offroad once or twice a year), you'd choose a Tiger or Vstrom. If you grewup on dirtbikes and live in the desert, forest or outer Mongolia on your own, you should definitely get a KTM. If youre new to adventure bikes and cant decide what you want, a BMW is your safe bet. I've had an Africa Twin for 2 years and wouldn't exchange it for any of the others. I live in New Zealand where backcountry dirt, sand, river crossings, and mountainside trails are everywhere and i'll push my offroad skills to some degree at least a couple of times every month, and the bike eats it all up like nothing (with minimum luggage and suspensions lowered, which takes 30 seconds btw!). At other times i also load up the bike with 4 packed boxes/tankbag & a pillion and ride for 6-8 hours to get a remote campspot and its comfy, capable and fun. For the many, many twisty roads its got plenty of power, control & great balance to pretend its a racing bike and laugh with delight on corners. The DCT isnt something you take to on your first ride (or 5 rides) because having no fine clutch control on slow speed u-turns is just, odd (but you re-learn it, to almost... damn-near, the same level of control anyway). You warm to DCT with ownership, until one day you realise all the benefits are soooo much better. Its not about the automatic changes either (i hardly ever use auto mode), more the simple click to change gear in any situation (& knowing you simply cannot stall on event the gnarliest terrain), but the bike on gravel, sand, loose boulders, mud, grass or anything just loves it all and makes you a better rider. Maybe i'll change my mind in the future (will consider a KTM 790 next time), but i'm convinced the AT is absolutely the best bike for this wide range of use, and none of the others could do all of those riding styles/terrain, so perfectly.

some cool bikes would love to see another test with more lightweight 400-700cc catagory of bike. ALSO can i ask what helmet your wearing looks great

Seriously, some people think the was a really good review of these bikes. My grandmother could have done better, and she's blind and in a wheelchair. But to be serious, this wasn't a review it was personal opinions of the bike they were on. The guy on the Honda was already hating on it when he showed up. Plus he apparently knows nothing about the bike at all. The 1090r and AT are great bikes. A lot is how you set it up and intend to ride it. I researched the 1090r and AT for a month and rode both. A few of my personal findings. KTM 1090r 1. To tall for me. 2. Excessive engine heat on longer rides. 3. Harder for me to handle in the tight off road stuff. 4. Uncomfortable seat and riding position. 5. I will never need 125 hp off road. But the grin you get when you open it up can't be denied. 6. To be honest It's a heck of a bike. Honda AT 1. Love the low seat position 2. Has a lower center of gravity and handles much better for me. 3. I liked the softer suspension, especially riding off road. Seemed to make it easier to manage. It's even better when properly set up. 4. 98 hp is plenty for me. 5. I liked that it had less electronics on it. Less to go wrong. ABS and traction control are plenty for me. 5. Its a Honda, Reliable !! Both are the same as far as ground clearance and suspension travel. A lot comes down to rider preference. But please DO NOT let this video sway any decision to purchase any of these bikes. Especially the AT. There are plenty of real test and comparisons on these bikes out there. At the end I went with the AT and love it.

The bike you named are light weight in this century... any lower and you will get playmobile or lego

Oh the Honda is to tall... put the seat in the low position then!! “Has the DCT been changed?” Yes they are constantly making it better. Why do you get idiots who know nothing about bikes to review them?

AlSpeed89 they did put it in the lower position. It took all 4 of them to figure out. Made the process something else to complain about. How pathetic are these guys. I hate tall bikes, I hate DCT, supposedly you got to choose your bike. You must be a special kind of stupid. The guy on the Triumph likes pavement and doesn’t like off road. Of course he likes the wee 800. It’s as much of an off road bike as a Harley Davidson. Worst review/comparison I have ever seen. Please stop.

Great photography! Would have been much better if the riders swapped bikes.

Great video but how are the ktm and Africa twin middleweights?

The term "middleweight" can be interpreted however you wish and the name shouldn't be the crux of the test. We called them middleweights because three of the four manufacturers have larger capacity options in their range. E.g. the BMW F750GS sits in the 'middle' between the G310GS and the R1200GS.

Need two bikes, KTM and a Triumph, since this is a year and a half later, KTM 790 adventure, need lower height, and 1200 scrambler xc, again the lower seat height. I have been riding a 2008 690e and love it as I am more in the dirt. But at the are of 69 I think the 790 will allow be better road manners on the way to far off adventures.
