If you look at today's crop of heavyweight adventure bikes, there’s no denying that the Europeans are leading the charge in terms of tech and performance. The trifecta of Super ADV bikes, if you will, consists of KTM, with the 1290 Super Adventure, Ducati, with the Multistrada V4, and BMW, with the unbeatable R 1250 GS. Interestingly, though, there's one outlier in terms of pricing, and that’s the KTM.
Granted, of course, it’s also the most technologically advanced boasting features like electronic suspension and radar-guided cruise control. But wait, the Ducati Multistrada V4 offers this, too, and manages to sell for nearly 600 Euros ($680 USD) more in Europe. The BMW R 1250 GS, meanwhile, is a whopping 2,200 Euros cheaper than the orange monster. That being said, though, it does miss out on radar, which is undeniably an exorbitantly expensive feature. So, what can KTM do to offer its flagship adventurer at a more competitive price point?
