A quick general review of this 2016 KTM 1190 Adventure motorcycle. Looking great in a metallic orange and added on Touratech aluminum side bags/panniers, thi KTM marketed the 1190 Adventure (they now have a 1090 & a 1290) as a dual sport. I'll go down a dirt/gravel road, but even if I had the 'R' model, which has stiffer suspension, dual purpose tires, and a few other offroad features, wouldn't take 500 pounds very far from pavement. Leaning towards AT for its reliability/ easy maintenance and cheaper price but I have to put crash bars and center stand ect on it . But Iam in love with the KTM 1090. Already has everything I need but Iam intimidated with my lack of knowledge and future maintenance $ BMW I've only heard great things . Also intimidated with lack of knowledge .
The 790/890 platform has been plagued by reliability issues which has been well documented on the internet. The only issue I’ve had on this specific bike was a failure on one of the front brake lines due to metal fatigue. KTM assessed the failure and concluded that the brake line was too short. This caused tension on the brake line every time
NE Indiana. I found out today that when you take your 1290 in for the 600 mile break in service, the techs reset the service warning light. When they do this they set when the next reminder goes. So mine just went off at 4000 miles. They said even though KTM suggests service at 9500 miles, they think that's too long and recommend an oil change The dealer is giving me a sweet deal for the KTM (arriving in January), because the price difference between the 2 is only $3800, and that includes the Tech Pack for the KTM. If it would have been a 2022 890 adv, I would have gone with the T7, because I find the 890 wind protection much more problematic for me (very noisy and difficult to manage).

The Super Adventure 1290's are tuned a little more for low end grunt than the Super Dukes. but they are mainly street-oriented, and with the S moreso than the R. I think the S has cast wheels with a 19" front and he R has spokes. Not sure about sizes. Super Dukes have cast 17" wheels at both ends.

The biggest difference between the bikes on the spec sheet is the ground clearance. The Orange bike has 8.6 inches to the 6.6 of the Ducati.
