Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 1190 Adventure 2014
With no other "all-rounder" motorbike will you be so fast. An unbeatable climber, especially on narrow mountain roads, but also a pleasant companion on the daily ride to work.
KTM 1090 Adventure 2017
The KTM 1090 Adventure is a huge step away from its predecessor, the 1050 Adventure, towards its bigger sisters. The electronics package with adjustable riding modes, traction control and ABS remains at the already high level, but the engine now has 125 hp, around a third (!) more than the 1050. Almost more importantly, it can now rev freely to over 10,000 rpm and thus offers a more usable rev band. You will hardly find a more balanced bike in the class of still reasonably priced large touring enduros.
