The 2024 KTM 1290 Super Adventure R is an extremely capable motorcycle that appears to be very intimidating, but is actually surprisingly manageable. In this review, I take a practical look at what it's like to live with and ride this motorcycle. Want to see this bike in person?

@ 40, a new 2008 KTM 990 was my first "dirt bike" and I spent then next 15 years riding it in every place imaginable. From single track to tarmac, the bike constantly demonstrated why so many people around the world love them, and why you are spot on regarding how easy they are to ride. Mine saved my a$$ more times than I can remember. I'm still on it, but the 1290 is on the radar. However, I'm old school and there are just too many computers for my liking.....and those pesky camshafts.

Besides the electronic issues, I love this bike.

Love the details in these videos. They helped sway my new bike decision this summer. Keep it up

Greetings from Romania, Timisoara. My favorite model (and 1290 SAS), I watched a lot of reviews on RU-vid. Like the first bike, it scares me a bit. Now I get my license, for category A, in a month and then I want to go to a KTM dealership to test or just sit on it. Anyway she's impressed in reality, I passed by the dealership and it was on display in the window. Although I'm not exactly a beginner, I have experience behind ATVs, Can-Am Riker and Spyder, it would still be my first motorcycle. That said, I think I'm biting off more than I can swallow with it. Anyway, I still love her. Only for touring would I be interested, I've done off-road with ATVs and I'm not passionate about it. Thank you for the review.

Go for a light, low-powered bike first. Get a dirt bike like a DRZ400 and learn how to ride. ATVs and bikes have very little in common. Practice, practice and then practice some more on the basics. Don't get this bike as a beginner.

Nice KTM adventure bike, Peter. Good review.

@RandomGRK 18 дней назад

Nice. Did you test the bike in slow city riding and weather there is a lot of radiator or engine heat?

@PeterLoweOne 17 дней назад

The 790 felt much hotter to me than the 1290.

@CaptainFeathersword Месяц назад

I like the fact that KTM provides storage on the bike specifically for the keyless FOB....much better than forcing me to pack it somewhere else on the bike.

It turns out that the cheap prices in Canada are due to slow updates

@anderslund3548 Месяц назад

The non LED turnsignals on motorcycles in USA/Canada must also be some local regulatory or marketing thing? They all have LED stock turnsignals in Europe. Anyone know the story behind this?

@PeterLoweOne Месяц назад

Kawasaki does the same thing with some of its larger displacement bikes while their lower displacement bikes have LED signals. I haven't figured out why Kawasaki does that as the big bikes are also LED in Europe. Strange, for sure.

@anderslund3548 Месяц назад

@@PeterLoweOne Strange. Gut feeling - It must be something regulatory in USA. No other reasons to keep dual spareparts or designs etc. Found this rather old quote doing a powergoogling: "the LED OEM euro lights don't comply in one form or another to US regs. It was explained that it had more to to do with shape then the filament/bulb"

@proffzulus Месяц назад

Incandescent lightbulbs available at any petroleum station, worldwide. I think it’s just for that reason, considering where that bike can take you, there might be no means of civilization.

How is the fuel on an easy drive

@roytong1908 22 дня назад

all highway around 120km cruise. 420km half highway 330 around. but usually 280-300km u should find a gas station.

@dirtrider17 Месяц назад

I own a 2023. The stock seat is too low for a 6 foot rider and also cramped at the knees. The power parts rally seat is much better and taller , but still not a great seat for comfort. Why do they slope the seat to the tank? The Stock wheels are made of cheesium. The softest rims I have ever seen on an adventure bike. You will dent them riding gravel and rocks. The stock skid plate may as well be made from plastic saran wrap. So flimsy they may as well not ship it with the bike. It's pathetic. But aside from these few short comings it's a great bike and it is incredibly easy to ride for a bike with 160 horse power. . The motor is very smooth and passing cars is a joke with this kind of power on tap.

The R model comes standard with the crashbars...🤔 is this again some eurothing...

I film in Canada.

@lorinhughes Месяц назад

@@PeterLoweOne I don't understand your reply, where are the bottom crash bars on the bike you are reviewing? I own the 2023 model and it came with the bottom crash bars stock. The upper crash bars are aftermarket.

i would rlly love one but yea it's ktm...

That's not a 2024 SAR . It's a 2021/2022 model😉

@PeterLoweOne Месяц назад

it's a 2024. I promise. I film in Canada, so maybe things are different where you live.

@betapeterr8657 Месяц назад

@@PeterLoweOne Okay, that can be true. In Europe the graphics were changed from 23.😁

@C_R_O_M________ Месяц назад

@@betapeterr8657 you are both right. I believe the American continent gets to be behind one year in terms of model year. So they get the 2023 model as 2024 whereas we get the actual 2024 one which has indeed different graphics (and perhaps some slight upgrades).
