It all depends on what you want. The Triumph feels more like a styled road bike and the RE feels more like a proper scrambler.

Just for the brand prestige I'd choose the Triumph. It's a conversation starter.

The second is more practical in daily use. It has a bigger fuel tank and is most likely more fuel efficient.

Is the KTM 250 Adventure worth the price premium?

Absolutely worth it! It's top-notch build quality, and you're getting KTM's racing pedigree in an adventure package. And the resale value is pretty good compared to most other 250cc bikes.

There is not enough value in it to be worth the premium. Cheaper Japanese alternatives will give you similar performance, and they are often more reliable. A KTM badge comes with a large markup.

That depends. Yes, if you want a do-it-all bike that can be used in the city, on the highway, and a little bit off-road. However, if you’re just commuting, there are cheaper options that will do the job just as well.

If you are someone who upgraded from a cheaper 250cc bike, you will notice the difference. Nothing else is in the same league as the suspension, brakes, and overall feel of the KTM. You get what you pay for.

At first I was skeptical about the price, but after having it for a year I am convinced. The cost alone is justified by the versatility—it’s like having multiple bikes in one. And the service intervals are longer than most competitors, saving you money in the long run.

It's a tough call. The price is hard to swallow for a 250, but it is a great bike. If you can stretch a little more, the 390 Adventure is a better deal for the extra buck, giving you a lot more bang for your buck.

I had no problem paying the premium for the desktop for just the comfort and ergonomics. Since I am a tall rider, it is very important that the bike fits well, and the 250 Adventure does just that. This extra cost means all-day comfort, something so valuable on long rides.

I’d say it’s only worth it if you’re going to use its adventure capabilities. If you are on tarmac 90% of the time, you are paying for features that you will not use. For less money, there are better road-focused options.
