Honda Africa Twin vs. KTM 790 Adventure R Comparison. Cycle News Staff | September 6, 2019. In a world of soul-crushing connectivity, it helps to get away from it all on an adventure bike. These two are the pick of the crop. Here’s our Honda Africa Twin vs. KTM 790 Adventure R Comparison.
The KTM 790 Adventure S is a mid-sized adventure motorcycle that uses the same LC8 799c parallel-twin engine used in the 790 Duke but with a revised mapping. It peaks at 95 hp at 8,000 rpm and 65ft/lb torque at 6,500 rpm which is almost the same as that of the BMW F850GS or the Honda Africa Twin.
The 790 is the first full-blown Adventure Bike to come along to approximate the compactness of my beloved 990 SMT. The 790 makes at least the same power as the Africa Twin, with significantly less weight and bulk. But it still makes about 20 HP less than my SMT, which is about the same weight. Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sport; Honda CB500X; Honda NC750X; Ducati Multistrada 950 S; 2019 KTM 790 Adventure. Spec: 799cc / 93.8bhp / 189kg / 850mm seat height. Price: £9500 You don't need to do that with the Africa Twin. It will chug along with ample torque to spare at any second for a surprise climb to need to power up. Now if you had said, which is easier to ride offroad, an Africa Twin or a Husky or KTM dual sport bike like the EXC or FE 350/450/500, the answer is the KTM or Husky hands down. You meet the nicest people on a Honda. The Africa Twin is an easy-going, friendly ADV that will be very reliable, predictable and get you there (eventually). The KTM will be the awe-inspiring, tire eating, barely domesticated beast that will exhilarate and frighten you at the same time. Rather than filling the gap with a larger single or smaller V-twin, KTM designed an entirely new engine called the LC8c for the new 790 Duke–its first parallel twin.This engine layout allowed a 5xeC.
