As a completely satisfied owner of the KTM 790R, the best thing you can do for this bike is replace the Karoo 3 tires. They cause the vibration Eric talked about.

This was a great comparison considering the circumstances, thanks guys.

Really great having Eric on this comparison

Did you try to stiffen the suspension of the Tiger to see if that would keep it from bottoming out? Do you guys generally adjust adjustable suspensions to your preference, or is that too time consuming?

I took my 2019 F850GSA on a 30,000km ride last year from Miami to Thailand through 17 countries. Awesome bike if your traveling 50% road and 50% off-road. None better. Why? If you do adventure travel, only one brand exists anywhere in the world when passing other riders; BMW. They never, ever break. Also, the ride is the best for comfort on long hauls which I do daily. I also own a 2018 R1200GSA which I took from top of South America to the very bottom on a 20,000km ride a few years back. But its a pig for off-road in some situations - so I bought the F850. For comfort, forget it... Review or not, the F850 on list list hands down the best of all -- not even in a discussion. For weight, its sucks if you plan on doing more than 50% off-road. In fact, I'm going on a ride from Europe to bottom of African Continent (South Africa) next year and I am seriously looking at the KTM 790 because I expect it to be 85% off-road and 15% tarmac. Bottom line: If you are a normal rider - not a Dakar want-to-be -- and don't plan on doing more than 50% off-road -- look no further than the BMW -- its the safest choice for safety, service, reliability, comfort and ride. If you plan on More off-road, or your the top 10% of riders who are super aggressive, I agree, the KTM is tasty.

@stevecade857

KTM and Yamaha are coming at the middleweight adventure bike (offroad biased) from two different aproaches. One expensive and high tech and one built for a price and low tech. That to me is a great thing as it gives potential purchasers a great choice. From what I've seen though the T7 suffers from poor suspension and lacks the ultimate power delivery of the 790. If truth be told the KTM has far to much power for use offroad and you can rework the T7s suspension and still have a fantastic bike for less money than the KTM. You'll just be lacking all the high tech the KTM comes with (TC, bluetooth, TFT, QS - optional etc) but that stuff is not for everyone anyway.

They made the BMW that wide in the front for wind deflection purposes (highway use) + better cooling (bigger air intakes), but I agree it's intimidating to ride after you jumped off the 790 :) I did this back to back test and the perceived weight & actual weight was more than obvious.

The second problem is the stance. The high pipe routing forces a weird bow legged stance on the bike, at least for me. I always feel like my right foot is about to slip off to the side because of the pressure from the pipe. Perhaps it bugs me so much because it's asymmetrical. The right leg is pushed, the left not.

While the BMW F900 XR TE would be £12,535 and the Ducati Multistrada 950 S will be £13,895. Based on pricing I want to know if the Ducati indeed is worth the extra £1360 more than the BMW. Also seem the BMW with the packs I’ve selected comes with more tech. The Tiger 900 is roughly£300 more expensive than the BMW, leavening me to wonder if the Triumph is to expensive for what it is or if it’s indeed justified?

Tough to imagine the Yamaha T700 at that price point playing in this league.

This is now middle weight! If I ever think of getting a 900cc bike, I'm getting 1000cc and above.

you have to be pretty daft to want the BMW over the other two. I have to go with the Tiger knowing that Im never going to ride that much off road with the KTM.

Why does everyone keep comparing the Adventure R to the other bikes? The regular Adventure is more comparable.

Which bike I'll be buying?! I'll tell you which bike I'll be buying: T7 any day of the week.

I would buy all 3 if i could

For all the kitschy but not terrible cinematography, you guys should get some better mics.

I WOULD SUGGEST ADDING SOME OTHER BIKES FOR THE UPCOMING "ADVENTURE-COMPARO" SUCH AS THE GUZZI V85TT, TENERE 700, V-STROM XT AND MAY BE ALSO THE MULTISTRADA 950 WITH SPOKED WHEELS. YOU´VE DONE A GREAT JOB GUYS!! STAY AT HOME AND KEEP SAFE. FROM VILLA DOLORES, CÓRDOBA, ARGENTINA.

Marcelo Lopez i agree with all the suggestions except the Tenere 700. It's just not in the same class as the other bikes.

Sad you have to add it but the Andreani cartridge kit will make a a big difference in the front end of the F850. The previous F800 was dogshit. I wonder how the 850 would be if BMW offered it with a real suspension...

The winner is the ktm 790 advr in offroad and the bmw 850 GSA the best on the asphalt.

Check out Steve Kamrad’s review of the Triumph on advpulse.com. His opinion is best in the segment by a large margin. I rode a Rally Pro and GSA 850 back to back and have to agree. 790R or T700 are great off road but too narrowly focused in my opinion.

Exactly. These 3 all ended up going for the bike they felt best off road, instead of all round ADV!

When getting to affordability, maintenance costs and reliability side of things (which would be a major factor for me as a buyer of any bike), which one gives the best bang for your buck? Obviously the Yamaha T7 would win hands down here, but it wasn't available for you to test yet.

I would probably buy a tiger 800 from last year better suspension (WP) and thicker bash plate

Garry Rhodes Just got mine 2 weeks ago. 8 month old for half the sticker price. I love the bike so far. The tripple engine is a peach!

maybe after few years but atm you can buy accessories from ktm to go for offroad trails for 390

You're testing two road bikes that can go ok offroad and one offroad bike that can go ok on the road. Not really a ballanced test. You should of used the KTM 790 Adv (non-R).

Gs cost more than adventure r and suspension is 240 mm. Despite prices is the weakest one

The Africa Twin definitely missing here. The bmw... A step in the wrong direction. The Triumph the best looking and seems to be sweet ride! At the end, if you are really really into adventureous off road riding, the choice is no other than the ktm. I just don't understand why ktm went for a cable clutch...

Do those bikes seem too bloated for that type of riding?
