Ou foi um golpe de sorte ou os melhores programadores estavam a trabalhar - guiador, geometria, assento, ângulo dos joelhos, apoios para os pés - ela adapta-se muito bem à maioria dos europeus centrais. Em suma, ainda não há nenhuma mota que possa matar a GS.

A KTM 1090 Adventure é um grande passo da sua antecessora, a 1050 Adventure, em direção às suas irmãs maiores. O pacote eletrónico com modos de condução ajustáveis, controlo de tração e ABS mantém-se no nível já elevado, mas o motor tem agora 125 cv, cerca de um terço (!) mais do que a 1050. Mais importante ainda, agora pode acelerar livremente até mais de 10.000 rpm e, portanto, oferece uma faixa de rotação mais utilizável.
