KTM 1050 Adventure Review

Good review with decent information relayed. It looks to me like the bike a lot of riders want and seems not many manufacturers understand...



KTM 1050 Adventure is the fourth bike in KTM's adventure travel lineup and also the least powerful. It comes in as the cheapest of the range but still has a host of good gear such as slipper clutch, traction control and switchable ABS. But is it a worthy addition to KTM's range?



Some personal thoughts on why I chose the KTM 1050 over the 1190

2015 KTM 1050 Adventure (Akrapovic Exhaust) Test Ride & Review
First ride of the 2015 KTM Adventure trying to understand why is this bike £3000 more than the Yamaha MT-09 Tracer or £1500 more than the Triumph Tiger 800 XRx. There are a lot of things I like about the V Twin such as the low end grunt, the rather nice vibration and the safety aspects of a modern KTM (ABS and traction control come standard) but the seat height is as high as the price tag and doesn't give me the confidence at low speed especially on a slopped surface. This bike is not for short riders like me but once you get going it's fantastic. The Akrapovic exhaust system sounds just amazing...
