Read our 2014 KTM 1190 Adventure R review Rider, August 2014 After 2,100 miles on 1190-R, I rode it back to KTM’s U.S. headquarters in Murrieta, California, and swapped it for another standard
Long time lurker on this site, finally going to bite the bullet and get a full size adventure bike. The 1090 seems like the perfect bike for me at this time, and the prices on them seem better then ever. I have been watching Cycletrader for about 6 months and it seems that I have my pick from 2017-2019 model years within 200 miles from my location.
The taller screen on the 1290 R compared to the 1090 R does come in handy on the road, with adjustment via a hand wheel. When the taps were open, the accessory Akrapovic pipe ($1700) added a little more fruit to the occasion, and other goodies fitted from the KTM PowerParts range included rally footpegs ($299.99) and heavy-duty aluminium Skidplates ($499.99).
