I really like your two videos on this...I am in such a similar situation. I have a deposit on a 2024 Africa Twin base model, non-adventure sports model. I have never ridden an Africa Twin. Although I have extensive experience with many motorcycles, I have none with adventure bikes specifically. I've owned nearly 100 bikes from dual sports, dirt bikes, sport bikes, and crusiers. I finally realized adventure riding is what I've been looking for the whole time. After setting up my XR650L with Mosko bags and other adventure accessories, I realized I'm going to need a real adventure bike and the XR650L isn't going to cut it....especially for the highway. So.... here are the four adventure bikes I am going to choose from: Africa Twin, BMW F 900 GS, Tenere 700, and finally a 2024 CF450 MT Moto. Africa Twin most likely will arrive in May/June in the USA. Tenere 700 is already here---I test road it and like it but not sure it will be ideal for highway use for longer trips (1,000 + miles) Yes, I know it can do that but can the Africa Twin do it better? Probably. The F900 won't arrive to the US until JUL--- Doubt I'll sit around and wait for it to arrive and possibly lose dibs on the Africa Twin I have a deposit on. The last bike, CF450 Motto (Ibex). Check it out! Yeah, made in China. But after much research, new owners love this bike! It looks exceptionally capable off-road.....but doesn't arrive until August. So, since I obviously can't buy all four (If I could I would), I think I most likely will choose the Africa Twin, and the CF450 Moto. If the Africa Twin doesn't work out, my next priority would be the BMW F900. I have seen some amazing you tube reviews on the F 900 and it is truly a phenomenal bike. But, for my purposes, not sure how it would perform for longer highway rides at 1,000 miles plus.

Hi Theo..Thank you so much for liking my videos. My F900 is ready at the dealership, bags and all. I get delivery either sat the 4th or wed the 8th. Depends on weather..lol. Its supposed to rain hard on sat here. I can then tell you a lot more about the F900. CF moto is a popular bike in Europe and in Portugal. Ill actually do some more research on it and try to make a video on it. CF has a good name here so I would not worry its chinese made ,,,most bikes are these days. I wouldnt be surprised if a good chunk of the AT or the F900 is Chinese made also. You have good experience riding various bikes, the best thing is as you already know is to test ride them. Good luck...)

Hi, both great bikes, I hear the 2024 triumph engine has been. Smoothed out to reduce vibration . I went from a gs to a 2024 gsa , I gotta say I’m blown away how good it handles it’s so easy to ride , dare I say easier than my 23 GS. I do think that as my years roll by I’ll feel similar thoughts to you and find the GSA & GS (1250s) to heavy but not as I approach 60 @ 180cm & 92 kgs I can still move them both around no problem . Maybe in another 5 or so years I’ll look at lower seat and lower bike weights . Thinking tiger 900, Honda transalp . I reckon to keep biking I’ll eventually end up on a bmw / Honda 750cc step through scooter . They’ve come along way and really look fun on the twisty’s . Ride safe 🤛👍

The F900 has it and the yamaha not....not a big deal for most people, but i just felt safer with the F900.

I have the very same bike and recommend the SW Motec sump guard (German), Barkbuster hand guards (originals are weak), Scorpion Exhaust in titanium (UK made, don't know if California legal) which is so light it's a problem to stop it floating away 😂. It sound great and adds a bit more oomph. I also fitted Touretech folding mirrors because it's handy to fold them in when on narrow tracks. I have the Triumph expedition topbox which I hate the look of but the utility is great when touring. Soft panniers as the aluminium one's stick out way too far.

But about the weight you write 120 pounds. I think you make mistakes.... the GS 1200 are 222kg Dry weight and the ktm are 196kg Dry weight, it is 26kg difference ( Dry weight) or 58 pounds....

Interesting comparison. I sold my 2014 GSA for a Honda ATAS DCT ES. The Honda selling point for me was the DCT. Several months in and it’s the weight and high centre of gravity that frankly don’t work for my riding. I ride the Tiger 900 but the odd crank gave it a buzz that I really don’t like plus the riding position seems leaned forward vs the BMW and Honda. Then I rode a KTM 890 which I loved. On my test ride I just wanted to ride further and further. I have no off-road pretensions hence not the R model but it’s balance and perfect road manners had me sold. Where the Honda is almost intimidating in bulk and overall heft, the KTM is nimble, planted and yet perfect in traffic where I spend too much of my time. I would happily commute and do long rides and certainly on minor roads. Even so, on our main highways it was excellent despite the relative lack of bulk and hence protection. I’ve bought an 890 and get it on a few weeks. Time will tell! Best, Ian

Want maybe to do the Great Divide in a couple years and the BMW which is the greatest bike made was just a little to much. A mini tank. Took the KTM out alone to the desert this morning, climbing a hill with rocks and dumbed it. Picked it up right away and rode on. Wouldn’t have tried that hill myself with the BMW.

Hi Thank you for the great videos... I've been watching for a while. I'm in a dilemma!! I have a 1250 Rallye and got tempted to buy a used 890 adventure r. The gs is hevy off-road bit very comfortable on rod. The 890 is a bit harsh on road and on bumps bit great off-road although I find it too strong when gravel is loose! Thinking of selling the gs for a friend who wants it and swapping the 890 for a tiger Rallye pro. My fear is that it is heavier and softer which makes it less capable off-road! What do you recommend? Is it really heavier and more difficult to Handel off-road than the 890? Maybe it's the best compromise between the gs and the Ktm !! Thanks 🙏
