KTM 1190 Adventure 2014

With no other "all-rounder" motorbike will you be so fast. An unbeatable climber, especially on narrow mountain roads, but also a pleasant companion on the daily ride to work.

Combines sport with comfort

buttery smooth gearbox

powerful and well controllable engine

excellent seating position

manageable chassis

sophisticated electronics

lean angle ABS.

Engine jerks a little below 3000 revs

unlike its predecessor, it no longer looks quite so independent

smooth gliding is not its strong point.
