Hey guys! Today we will be testing one of this year's news, the KTM 1090 Adventure R, the one with the 21 inch rim and it will be battle against the new Honda Africa Twin
They both fit Continental TKC 80 tyres and today, with us there's a person who has raced the Dakar with Yamaha: Alessandro Botturi
hey everyone! Today I will be testing two competitors of the brand I usually ride
Let's take a closer look to those Adventure bikes: 1000 cc engines, steel frame, 21 and 18 inch spoked rims, what else?
C'mon Andrea, we should ride them!
Sorry I have made you wait for me, I'm just a journalist. Now we will talk about the two bikes
Let's start from the Honda
Well I was surprised since, even though it's more road oriented, it's very good to ride on the pegs and, thanks to a low centre of gravity, it's pretty high performance
well, yes, the riding position is more road oriented compared to the KTM and we can also see smaller foot pegs
KTM has a totally different layout, it's higher, more off road oriented, it's more racing, I really like it, even though it's a bit heavy
We have tested both weights and they're exactly the same: 233 Kg with full tank, without the accessories
but I have noticed it as well, KTM's tank is wider and it feels a bit heavier
we need to take alook at the suspensions: WP for KTM with the PDS system and Showa for Honda with Pro-Link
KTM has a more racing set up, while Honda is a bit softer, meaning that it overcomes a bit better the obstacles, while you feel them a bit more with the KTM
You're right, but we have turned twice the preload screw at the front, while 2 more for the Honda's rear suspension
talking about the brakes, on KTM we can totally turn off the ABS, while for Honda only at the front
well when we jump with the ABS, the bike tends to go further, while when you turn yuou might risk to go a bit too long
KTM's engine: it has a very good engine with a great power, which is not too hard to handle. It always pushes hard, especially over 6,000 RPM
Honda: the engine runs very well, it's smooth and linear, I think it's more suitable for anyone compared to the KTM
We have put both bikes on the test bed and the Honda has a similar output to the KTM but 1,000 RPM less
this bike has been racing in Chile §and Morocco and it has a Termignoni full exhaust, many carbon fibre parts and an aluminum sump guard
c'mon, stop talking and race a bit, he's a real champion! I think he'll be 15 seconds faster than you. Let's sort out the bikes
we wil be starting with the Honda
ok so, what's you sensation?
well I think I've been faste with the KTM but I'm not sure,m we will see
I know for sure that I've been faster with the KTM since I've had some trobles with the Honda due to the front brake with the ABS, but it was my fault
So, Botturi with the Honda:1.52.41, KTM: 1.51.48 Did you expect that?
actaully I thought I had been faster with the the KTM, anyway, since I ride Yamaha, a SuperTenere would have been definitely faster!
Andrea. Honda: 2.03.36; KTM: 1.55.65, Not bad!
this has been possible thanks to the great performance and suspensions of the KTM. I believe that this bike is a bit harder to ride compared to the Honda
Well KTM it's more racing, but in the end I've managed to achieve the same time with both bikes
This test has been thought to see how they behave overall, even though we know that these bikes are made for long runs, maybe in the desert. Which one have you liked the most?
Well it's hard to say, but I like a bit more the Honda
I like KTM since I think Ican ride it better. This test has been pretty extreme and we know that almost noone wil lever ride them here, so I'll let Gix talk about their road behavior
First of all the knobbed tyres totally change the behavior of the bikes
the riding position is more dynamic and active on the KTM, amking it more fun
while Honda is more comfortable with an improved wind protection and less heat, while with knobbed tyres the handlebar tends to be a bit more shaky
the main difference between the two is the engine. Honda is smoother at low RPM with a lower fuel consumption: 14.5 Km/l in town comparedto the 14 of KT: 17.5 outside town for the KTM compared to the 18 of Honda, which also has the DCT
Honda has a price of 13,200 euro, while KTM 14,450 euro. On top of that, Honda can be purchased with the DCT shift. See you soon!
Gix hasn't talked about something bad about the Honda. There's the honk pver the blinkers, but I have a solution!
