Travel instead of lawn
One may think this is a disappointment with the hearty off-road look (especially the version in khaki). But you can see it as it is meant: this is a fantastic travel machine with excellent equipment. For everything else, the Motorradtest.de team recommends an enduro of mobile.de for 1,000 euros, because it looks so coolly smashed.
A mid-range bike, which is not middle class. The Triumph Tiger has style. She is the Range Rover of the motorcycle world, and that's really a compliment.
The test bike was put to us by Triumph Hamburg.
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.
