2023 ADV GUIDE P13
W
e've said it a million times before here at
Cycle News—the midsize ADV sector is
the game to be in if you're a manufacturer
worth its salt.
KTM known this for a few years with the
790/890 Adventure series, as has Triumph with
its Tiger 850 and BMW with the 750/850 GS
line. Yamaha recently joined with the Tenere 700
and Aprilia has done likewise with the fantastic
Tuareg 660.

ing—Ducati. The Italians have made more noise
than any of the aforementioned companies of
late, releasing a deluge of new or revised models
Different strokes for different folks,
however, both Rennie and Jesse were
surprised at how much fight the Ducati
bought to the long-time class leader KTM.
