This is fast becoming my favourite channel on here... Chris genuinely seems legit in everything he says, you can believe it all - plus that inner child when riding makes it more relatable to watch instead of just listing off specs! Love it... also may have ordered something based on your last review so thanks for costing me a load of money! haha

After watching this video I made up my mind that the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R was the bike that was the right choice for me and the places that I ride. I was finally able to get my hands on one in Feb of 2023. The bike has met every expectation I had and has exceeded it! I think its one of those bikes that you have to experience to understand, no matter where you ride it's the performance of this bike will always give you that special smile when you twist your wrist.

@@thepassionofthegoose5472 The R has the same engine as the S has the same engine as the Super Duke - in the last 3 years my S has not done a stutter and have thrown it into the forrest (literally); before you're asking, yes, I have days where I am riding that thing hard and hammer it into top speeds (Germany says hi). I have heard the same about all other manufacturers btw... be it GS, Multistrada, Tenere, etc. in relation to issues.

@thepassionofthegoose5472 3 года назад

@@dragonsmonk I'd change your slave cylinder, ASAP. If you don't do your own service the dealership likely already did it when you had your valves adjusted, which is likely why it's still running. I put 24K-miles on mine is 12 months, so it was ridden frequently and hard like every bike I've owned. Difference is, other brands don't hide known issues in technician service bulletins that penalize riders with the skill to do their own maintenance. KTM does, which is why I'll never buy another. Good luck with yours.

@BigDaveTALKS Год назад

@psycodriver 3 года назад

As I said in the S model review (probably the right choice price wise), as soon as you ride the R model you get instantly intoxicated of her: better capabilities on offroad, good and reliable suspension, crash barriers, better wheels and also much more pretty colors and presence due the 21+18" are enough arguments to pay the extra money imo. Well it was my personal choice, but I also did test the S model and it's awesome as well.

@Checkyoursix77 3 года назад

I not a big fan of the 10/11/1290 series. The existence of the 7/890 and the sales on the biggest KTM Adventure is proof that I’m not the only one. KTMs Adventure bikes took the wrong turn after the 990 unfortunately. With less suspension end more weight they became a BMW GS with KTM reliability. 160 hp just destroys any off road tires. The engine got some awesome power but it’s big on road tourer with 18/21 wheels. Impressive riding btw, I know how heavy and bulky the are off road!

@juanfelipearango2029 3 года назад

i have to agree on that. I was choosing between an 1190r and a 790r. Considering i could only afford one bike for everything (daily commuting, off road riding, travelling, etc...) i ended uo choosing the 790r. Surprisingly light sensation while riding and not so heavy if you have to pick it up after falling down. For the country i live in and its roads, power is more than enough. Only downside for me has been wind protection (which i hope to sort out with a rally kit or the upcoming plug&play fariring kit from RebelXports) and seat confort (i added gel to mine but is not enough, although i admit i have the resistance of a little child). The bike has great fuel economy, suspension is not confortable but its performance is great, specially in off road (makes me look as a better rider than i actually am because makes things easier).

I tried the 2019 version of this bike today and took it on some gravel roads. I have basically zero offroad experience, but this bike really inspired confidence and allowed me to be playful. I've only ever taken an ADV bike on a gravel road once before and it was Triumph Tiger 900 Rally but it felt a bit uneasy. Might be due to the tires though, because the KTM had much more offroad oriented tires.

I think I'd rather get a duke 890R for the road fun and a Honda CRF300L for off-road at the same price (bought new). It's a nice bike but too expensive because it has to be able to do it "all". I'd rather branch out in the more capable in a certain function vs the do-it-all bike but that's just me. Cheers Chris (and Neil), proper review.

Yeah, just one bike in the garage? I'd be seriously tempted by this one. but I currently have 3, and two of them are going to be leaving soon. Which leaves room for a dedicated off-roader and a full on sports tourer. That means that it'll probably be a full-on enduro bike and a full on sports tourer. Both KTMs. SD1290GT and (probably) an EXC500, though I'm also tempted by the EXC 300 TPI. Another great video, not many videos capture the fun/lunacy of riding bikes, yours do.
