Taking over from the 990 Adventure, KTM launched the 1190 Adventure in 2013 as a ground-up new machine that aimed to deliver serious on and off-road ability in a package that contained no compromises. And you have to hand it to them, they hit the nail fairly squarely on the head with this spirited and blinking fast adventure bike. Less off-road focused than its R sibling (which has a 21-inch front wheel and the usual rugged terrain defeating mods) but still able to take to trails, the standard 1190 Adventure is a very sturdy machine that can handle the rough stuff but is more at home on tarmac. If you want a rapid adventure bike that has a bit of attitude, the KTM 1190 Adventure is well worth considering.
