Who wants one - KTM1290 Super Adventure

Here's a photo taken yesterday in Monaco of the new Super Adventure 1290 during a marketing preparation.
An image is worth a thousand words.

Thanks to mentounasc on KTM Mania.

Mate its got me excited, if this is for real I want one for sure..
I love my 2014 1190 EDS... Im from Canberra..
Any other information on this bike..

Making it bigger (and heavier) and then calling it the "Super" Adventure when in fact it's a tourer. Nice tourer BTW.
I would be curious to see if the R stays with the 1190 engine. Were there any "R"s around when this picture was taken?

Starting to look suspiciously like a Honda tourer!

No thanks.

God I love my 950.

Guys, I think you're over-reacting.
I don't like it as it doesn't fit in what I'm looking for, but it's not worse than a GSA or a SuperTenere.

As I said, I'm more curious about what is happening around this model. Will the R stay more sporty or will it get the same huge tank and bigger engine? Is this another model or a replacement for the current "T" (or "S")? etc.

And yes, the naming is very funny. Putting "Super" on something that is "less" adventurous.

Found this on a Belgian site.

Google Translating it, says 160 horsepower, 144 Nm torque.

990 is fine with me

Cmon guys, I'm sure all the BMW riders will turn green with evey


I'll stick with my 1190R

Click on the photo to be taken to Photobucket, then scroll one picture back in this guy's album to see a dyno-run (torque), another back to see the power data. Not sure if this is an ADV or (more likely an SD), but he's showing 166rwhp (I think) with a few mods! :eek1

Want the engine; don't want the bike.

Cheers... Paul

The 9X0 shall be considered the pinnacle of true adventure bikes.
It's got its quirks, sure, but it checks the most boxes.

It should be the new Version "GT" Gran Turismo.
KTM is probably going to use 1290 cc Engine only for this one and keep R and S models with 1190 cc.

It was until the 1190R was released
