KTM 1190 Adventure
Had a chat with some guys yesterday , and one mentioned that the new 1290 is a beast of a bike and its electronics is next level . I agreed with it , but from my point of view was not sure if it was 250k better than my 1190. My bike makes me smile all the time when I ride it . And as far as the wizardry goes my bike is set in SPORT mode and I ride it in that mode all the time , only things I fiddle with is the load settings , rest is set and left . My question is , do you change setting every time you go out on a ride ? I think not and most of us mere mortals are quite happy with full power setting , ( basics) but school me I could be soooo wrong . One of the gents was running in a new S1000RR with wings and plenty wizardry , hem mentioned 3 sport settings , with 5 levels each and level had more settings in them , just craze for a road bike that comes std with heated grips .
KTM has a video out showcasing the ability of the new 1290 R , one has to agree that its awesome , but I dont have the skill to ride the bike like the guy in the video , and secondly after paying over 350k for one wont be thrashing it in the dirt like he does !
