My T7 vs my sons KTM SuperDuke 1290r reliability. Both less than a year old. My T7 zero problems, the 1290r has a head leaking oil. Going in for warranty work tomorrow. Hopefully you are on road when it fails, (close to a tow) It’s practically impossible to push a big adventure bike very far off road. I told him to stay away from KTM. Review. KTM 390 Adventure hands-on review. I’ve been riding motorcycles all my life. I think I owned my very first one when I was 14. It was a 50cc Beta. From that day, I was hooked and with time I slowly progressed (as one should) to bigger and bigger engines. First, a 125. Then a 500, then a 600, then a 750 and finally, after a decade on
Tough to beat the OEM Yuasa for reliability. The 1190 has a parasitic draw which tends to shorten the life of batteries if you don't keep them on a tender when storing them. #3. SURFINASPHALT and windblown101 like this.

3 days ago · What a bike! Then the 1090 and 1190. Well, they’ve all been replaced with KTM’s biggest ever machine – the 1290 Super Adventure R. This is a behemoth of a bike and takes on BMW’s mighty GS Adventure. And KTM aren’t messing about… the 1290 is a serious machine capable of anything you throw at it.

I started buying KTM’s in 2014 when I bought a 1190 Adv R . and have owned over the years a 2016 Super Adventure T, 2019 790 Adventure R, a 2020 Super Adventure S , a 2011 1190 RC8R and a 2022 Super Duke EVO. I have never had an major issue’s with any of them totaling almost 100,000 miles between all of them. I love these bikes. . 142 235 459 176 372 39 286 56
