KTM Adventure 990 7000 mile report
Loading...
Uploaded by motorcyclenewsdotcom on Mar 24, 2011
MCN's Michael Guy: "When I first got my KTM Adventure 990 I was on a mission to prove it was a bike that really could do anything. Now it's 12 months on and I think I've been proved right - well almost.
"Over the last 7000 miles I've done all the usual motorway, A-road and B-road miles, plus it's been to the Nurburgring for a round of WSB.
"It's been loaded up with panniers and a topbox, travelled two-up and not had even the merest hint of mechanical failure. A truly superb motorcycle."

I have a 09 990 Adv R and love it to bits, but with the factory immobilisers going wrong on me and know-one not even KTM knows how to bye-pass it (or wanting to share there info) its been sat in my garage for 5 months waiting for a fix. Why market a bike as ready to race and for adventure travelling then fit it with a immobiliser that cannot be bye-passed by the owner. What happens if your in the desert and it goes wrong?
Love the vids keep them up MCN.

@jillybooty It was designed to be a personal review as it was his last moments before parting with it...:(

This was another FANTASTIC review.... Why is it that in the States reviews like this falls short of a cartoon.
MCN, your editorial staff Rock's!
From America... your staff Rule's!
To Michael:

Great review nicely presented! I test rode the 950 and it was superb, but ended up with a BMW because of access to dealership and possible resale issues.....i'm on my third BMW and still lust for the KTM, but still need a dealer on the doorstep,boring but true, as I was doing 15to 20k a year at the decision time.
