Road & dirt touring. Perfect for all adventure and touring bikes. 5.25" (135mm) elongated design for great visibility. A new name; a reduction in capacity from 1195cc to 1050cc; and a completely revised suspension set up by led by none other than KTM development rider and complete motorcycle badass, Quinn Cody, made this 1090 Adventure R an all new beast aimed squarely at the Africa Twin. Peace. I went from a 2016 Africa Twin to the 2019 790 Adventure R. 1) They are fairly close in a few areas and but these bike in general are worlds apart. The Africa Twin is the only bike that I have ever owned that needed nothing in terms of spacers/risers or seat mods.

Posted on October 17, 2017 by Cristian Predoi. Meet Mihai and Adrian – two guys that set off on a journey to Mongolia. The bikes: a 2015 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 and a 2015 KTM 1190 Adventure R. Two months, 25.000 km, and a lot of memories. This is not our usual review. Living up to KTM’s “Ready to Race” motto, the 1190 Adventure’s 1,195cc LC8 V-twin made 150 horsepower (claimed), was the first production motorcycle to offer cornering ABS and featured vGn5.
