King 1190 adv R

[SGB]

All I can say is "I'm in love".... The 1190 adv R is a Machete destroyer..... I rode from my house in Knysna to Uniondale thru wet forest gravel and it felt like I was on a tar road. On the Klein Karoo side it flew at 190km/h on dusty roads not even a hint of instability.... I then climbed on to the tar from Oudtshoorn to Knysna Via George thru long straight and mountain passes. Two super bikes where ahead of me and I destroyed them like they were little PW's I hit 262km/h on my gps (true speed) on private property. Not the prettiest bike but without a doubt the most capable bike ever!

The R has apparently a 10% over read, meaning you were at about 290 km/h on the dial on dirt?

atch: :biggrin:

Why spoil a good story with facts.....

Lets not forget, he also distroys superbikes.
Must be one of them riding gods.

Thanks for the RR. I see more and more excellent reports on this bike. I am just afraid that this bike spells disaster. Previously the only bike where you could do 220km/h on a gravel road was an HP2 - reserved for a few hard core supporters. We are going to see a few fatalities on 1190s with people going fast just because they can and then running into trouble. Apologies if I sound like your mother but a DS bike doing 260km/h?! Impressive but fatal...

Agreed Jacobsroodt, maybe I'm just stupid, but why would anybody wanna do 250+ on a DS bike?
Fatal as you say.

Its up to whoever owns the bike... We all make our own choices.

Where is Oom Dan when you need him ... KTM have built you the ultimate bike here ...

You can take it to Dirt Bronco on Saturday and destroy MX bikes with it ... on Sunday you hit the open roads and destroy superbikes ... and also it's better then the 990 on enduro type terrain  > >

I agree, let the sun shine for him, he is very very happy, he probably had a crappy GS or Yammie before so the KTM is a major difference!

Gee iemand asb net vir my een goeie rede om nie my 990 R te verruil vir n 1190 nie asb. Ek kan nie regtig een bekostig nie

Great story !!  What I want to know is HOW DO YOU STOP !!!  I mean ABS is great but normally off on the dirt and 300Kg travelling at 200Kms/hr is a huge amount of momentum. In my experience there is always something or someone suddenly appearing in the road. Have seen buddies sliding for a long way before piling into the rocks at the side of the road and that was at 100kms/hr. Double that and EEIISSSHHH !! ???

The 1190 is so fast, what ever runs into the road you will miss, cause it will run past the rear of the bike  :imaposer:
