The KTM 890 Adventure R laps the Ref Ring in 1:47.79 on paper, 5.26 seconds quicker than the Yamaha Tenere 700 at 1:53.05. That gap is worth about 237 metres at the flag, and the biggest single chunk of it, 1.33 s, comes at Spec Sheet Straight.
Through the corners there is nothing between them on paper; this one is decided by power and braking. Top speed goes 203 km/h to 181 km/h. A faster lap is not the same thing as the better buy, which is why the full comparison scores value, practicality and ownership too.
Simulated lap times from published specs with stated assumptions, not measured track data. The circuit is fictional and the physics are listed under the race. Read about both bikes: KTM 890 Adventure R and Yamaha Tenere 700.
