2020 BMW G 310 GS VS. KTM 390 ADVENTURE VS. ROYAL ENFIELD HIMALAYAN
COMPARISON
P82
These Mini ADV bikes combine true
on-road worthiness, componentry and
comfort with dirt road and off-road ex-
ploration in their DNA and future. They're
not enduro bikes pretending to be good
on the street. And they're not street
bikes winning off-road races. These are
perfect adventure travel motorcycles for
the first-timer or someone looking for
that reliable, fun runabout.
And they are more similar than you
think. All are manufactured in India. All
come equipped with 70/30 street/dirt
tires (or so). All have similar suspension
travel and ground clearance. But they
all have vastly different approaches to
adventure.
If you have $5000-$7000 to get start-
ed in motorcycling, this is a great place
to start. But which one do you choose!?
We're here to help.
