KTM 1190 and 1190R owners show us your bikes

Just opened the thread that will put a smile on everyone´s face here. No pixies yet. But, hey. let´s see who´s goona be the first one

Here´s some http://blog.derestricted.com/photography/2013-ktm-1190-adventure-photoshoot/

wow, some good shots there. looks like a tall sportbike.



it looks like a nice bike, and i would love to add one to the stable. it is not exactly my cup of tea, as i prefer something more offroad oriented, ie the 990. i can't believe they are canning the 990. bike is such an icon.

I should be able to post some pics of me riding the 1190 late next week ........just need to see if anyone can beat me to it !

Owen, you'll get a 1190 R, right?

I have an R on order for myself but I think we will only be riding the 'standard' bike next week.

Because that's what it is.

OK it's not my bike but I was riding it 2 days ago ....

Hey, no one took delivery yet? C´mon guys we are waiting for your pix. Especially us that won´t get it...

Seen an orange one at the dealer yesterday. The R version would be delivered soon aswell.

Looks nice but not my cup of tea, the engineering of the older KTM's look so mutch more brutal. Maybe the R can turn me on.

Hmmm, wonder if that front fender could be retrofitted to a 990?

today I was able to register my R and tomorrow I'll pick it up (under heavy rain...)

I am thinking the same thing. Technically, the new bike seems a proper step forward (especially the motor ). But something about the styling... it just seems a little soft (a bit less KTM perhaps and more mainstream) in comparison to past bikes. And I already miss the high exhaust pipes.


Nonetheless, I already have an R model on order. Gonna be a bit of a wait though, I was informed by my dealer we (western Canada) won't be getting the standard bike til Oct '13 and no set date yet for delivery of the R bikes.

Anyway, congrats to all you boys and girls that are about to take delivery. And definitely looking forward to seeing the pics and reading about the new ride get along in the real world.

not the best day to take pictures, in particular with a phone but I guess these are THE FIRST PHOTOS OF THIS BIKE OFF ROAD THAT AREN'T FROM THE PRESS!!

Envyyyyyyyy!!!!

igorpetrovich, don't keep us waiting...first impressions please as to how it rides, looks like a great day to test out the traction control...

Thanks! You're the hopeful one by the way!

Gorgeous bike.

Hey Igor,
Congrats! it looks awesome!

Did you have a 9X0 before, so you can compare them?

That R is nice, it's the first time that I see the bike from rear and I can see the narrow Akrapovic, very different from the side view, which is bulky.
Only is urgent the tires change, they are not longer "Ready to Race"

They are ready to race ... on tarmac.
I wonder how a real dual sport tire will fit in such wide rims; front is 2.50 and rear is 4.50, wider than the already too wide 950/990 rims...
