What a beast, I thought to myself as I put my first few miles on the 2022 KTM 1290 Super Adventure R. In retrospect, that thought kind of made sense given the fact that the mill tucked beneath the 1290’s new tank design is an iteration of the Super Duke’s 1301cc V-Twin – the naked bike dubbed by KTM marketing folks as “the beast.” And beastly it is. Even in larger ADV garb coming in V-Twins I have owned. Suzuki DL-1000, Honda RC51, KTM 990, SMR, and KTM 1290 Superduke R. I was a little disappointed with the KTM 990 engine.

The KTM made me feel like a young hooligan that could go anywhere, and that feeling has lasted several So, I am dying to purchase a new KTM 1290 Super Adventure, absolutely love it. Had a bad time with some long test rides on an 1190 ADV-R where a few spokes came loose in the middle of nowhere (letting all the air out) and tightening them didn't keep the air in. Actually, KTM has a newer, larger ADV model than the 1190 Adventure. The 1290 Super Adventure has taken over this mantle, as it includes a larger 7.9-gallon gasoline tank, WP semi-active suspension, cruise control, and a plethora of other amenities (with the exception of a shaft final drive).
