KTM Adventure 1190R
« on: December 18, 2013, 09:18:57 pm »
Have you guys checked out this machine?

 I think it will be my next big adventure bike.   150hp, awesome suspension, traction control and ABS and fuel/spark maps that tune it down to 100hp for off-road.  Opinions?  The shop a few hours away just got three in.  If I had a job already I'd probably be down there signing the papers for one  ;D

I do all my own maintenance ans repair.  Usually KTM is comparable to japanese machines in the parts cost area. There may be a few expensive outliers but I also own a GS so its kinda the same story, but KTM is way easier to source parts for.  I like single track too so i have to justify a few good bikes and one crappy car lol.

This my 3-month old 2015 1190 Adv R.  I have farkled it some.  Just barely broken in. A few performance upgrades were in order.  Primarily a Rotweiller Stage 3 Intake kit and Stage 2 SAS Removal kit.
Aweaome Bike!  The bottom two pics are HDB Barkbusters and top plate.  I had a local shop anodize them for me.  HDB makes some top notch stuff!

Hey ZuggZugg nice bike for sure, I have an 07 990, that I have set up and really like, the bigger bikes are nice if your not getting to technical, I'm currently on a 09 ktm 450 I dual sported, I'm down in Mexico, the smaller bike works well in town and back roads, and great running the mtns, had to make an emergency trip back home and took the interstate, not as much fun on the small bike, I have a cousin in Greenville, I'm in the area every now and then, its my free BnB when I travel, lol, next time I'm coming through I'll give ya a shout and maybe we can do a little ridding.I will update my RR with some new pics

Sounds like a great plan.  Enjoy Mexico,  one of these days I will go for a ride down that way

Many different bikes. Last big dual-sport was a KTM 950 Super Enduro.

I like the looks of the 1190, but I think I would have to look seriously at the Africa Twin.
