Outstanding bike. Still love our 990, but have feeling one of these will be joining the stable for more slab-biased duty. Kudos for choosing the legend that is Mr. Toby Moody to do the vid too!
with 20% better fuel consumption, longer range and better fueling than the 990 and not much heavier what's not to like. And the electronics make it a safer place to be.
Let’s reintroduce this video to the algorithm, with a 2024 comment. This bike is so outclassed in 2024, but I still ride one, and love it. It’s 10 years on, and the 1190 can still kick a lot of bikes’ asses.
This is the bike that I will be selling my Multistrada 1200 S for. I really like my Ducati, but it is too fragile for long term use... Let alone taking it off the hardball. I cannot wait for the 2014 KTM ADV-R in the USA!
KTM: you inspire me. I'm getting this. I'm very excited. I am drooling all over myself just looking at this thing on the computer screen. Hurry up and deliver this thing to me. If it's possible please accelerate production and delivery to the United States. I want to replace my BMW with this KTM.
@ John Smith. it is quite affordable to the many who don't mind paying for top componentry and technology. As with everything loads of people can't raise that sort of money but under that definition you could call bread unaffordable in many places. It seems some people pick just to pick
Great review and very informative! I'm looking at this bike but am concerned about it's size. You mentioned you're not a big guy and it works for you. Well, I'm only 5'7" with a 30" inseam. Would this bike be too big for me? Thanks for your feed back!
How is your 1190 adv doing after 10 months? Any issues/problems? Many say air box allows dust/dirt. I'm most impressed with the electronics like MSc cornering abs.
Looks good but like all these big adventure bikes it will be compared to the bmw gs1200 so... Someone take this thing around the world make a dvd out of it and lets see how it holds up with real world abuse over long distance.
I have a 990adv and a 950se. They are simple and relatively easy to work on. This bike relies on to many systems. I would not want to ride the UP of Michigan or northern Quebec for fear of a electronic glitch. Lastly this thing is just ugly. It looks like my kids Transformers. Sorry.
La moto piu acerba e brutta del mondo. L'avete proprio fatta coi piedi e le vendite lo dimostrano. Questo e' distruggere il mercato delle moto. Complimenti
Not impressed. Lots of stuff that will break. Your example of the center stand is not impressive. This is a pure road bike now. I won't be buying one. I'll keep my 990. KTM has left its off-road roots and moved to pavement.
that looks like a ton of fun
We're excited to get our hands on a 1190 Adventure here in the US. Our test ride at the Adventure Rally in Colorado was too long ago!
What a bike, gotta have one, at last an alternative to the GS
Looks great, and just beat the GS, eXplorer and Tenere in the MCN group test. Nice one KTM...

A truly great bike

I belive it´s the traction control you need to turn off. This bike stands up on third gear they say. It´s really nice to ride that´s for sure:-)
cool stuff and a good presenter too
Not due in the US until next year, that's why there's. Baja edition of the 990 out there now.
In Usva there is guy who can fix electronic issues. it`s close to Devil’s Finger and don`t worry he is at home all the time.
Fantastic bike. But maaany of us are missing a KTM 690 Adventure!!!

Very good job with this video , thanks .
looks vewry good also i wounder when yahama will do ther one
I definetely neeeed one!
I wish it was available in India :|
I got this motorcycle one week ago !

Great video! Brilliant guy! I wanna this ktm!!!! Jetzt!!!
Love this guy!!!!
What a dream...
Factory declares about 6 liters per 100km, but in city drive consumes almost 9 liters
Super... Baranja x 100 pre. KTM.
Did I mention that I'm excited?
Like their after sales service, no responses to comments / questions......
looks fantastic but how well does it take being dropped?
Looks very nice, but where is the 690 Adventure?
What do I have to change to the settings to be able to do a wheelie?
Because de engine turns of when doing so now.
Had to watch this just to get a small fix of Toby Moody. MotoGP is coming soon!
Africa twin CRF1000 is coming. It's a lot more affordable and economical. I rather get that one!
Tiago Ruivo Today i ve traded my africa dct for a new 1190 adv. They are uncompareble . But they are both good bikes.
Didn't know mat Hancock did bike reviews
is it good for everyday, traveling, offroad and onroad?
yes.
Production 2013-2016 ...
No "offroad" characteristics... Go to Google and type in Dakar motorcycle... I think the similarities in styling are quite clear.
Is this bike built in India?
"The difference between the Adventure & the Adventure R is....... (Drumroll) The passenger has their own separate seat!!!!"
If you think that's all then you must be blind...
i own a 990 adv. I'm not sure this will be the next bike.
Also, how is this affordable considering it costs pretty much like a 1200GS?
1200gs suck!!!!
It's a multistrada that actually goes off road!
Nice bike but I'll never afford it for sure 😭😭
Looks good but like all these big adventure bikes it will be compared to the bmw gs1200 so... Someone take this thing around the world make a dvd out of it and lets see how it holds up with real world abuse over long distance.
Sounds like a lot that could go wrong as usual.
I guess you're still using a 14.4K modem and CRT monitor - hey, they worked fine
why trying to replicate bmw? the 990 doesnt need a replacement, why not just stick with what works and just a few updates on the 990???
Is this bike good on the highway at high speeds?
150mph top speed
Test ride one you won't be disappointed.
Interesting video, awesome bike! But why does the presenter have to stress every second word in the sentence? Very annoying to listen to.
And of course, all electronic rider aids will always be off.
i l u..
Affordable price, is he joking?
150bhp on an adventure bike? WTF!
I have a 990adv and a 950se. They are simple and relatively easy to work on. This bike relies on to many systems. I would not want to ride the UP of Michigan or northern Quebec for fear of a electronic glitch. Lastly this thing is just ugly. It looks like my kids Transformers. Sorry.
Honda nc700x is way batter then this affordable KTM. My ass
veeeeery afordable price!!! lol !!!
