Picked up a 2017 KTM 1090 R today. Pretty sure it has 99% of the available add-ons already on it. New rear MotoZ tire, 11,320 miles. Can't wait to hit the dirt on this thing!! Been wanting an ADV bike for a while and I'm glad I got this one.
 Attached File Attached FileBy the way, this thing is huge!! I'm 5'11" with a 32" inseam, and I can barely touch the ground at a stop on it!! I better practice picking it up, since it's gonna see a lot of dirt miles!!  Attached File |

Awesome bike! I sold my KTM 990A a few years ago and regret it. AZ is great place to own a ADV bike.

I've ridden my dirt bike a ton of places, and this will open up so many more options. Buy another bike, I'll ride with you!! |

You typed asv bike in the op, I was wondering if you called them something else down there. I had 1 990, a 1190
and a 1290 Super Adventure. Also had a T7, and have an Africa Twin now. I really liked the 1190 for off road. |

The big KTM is a lot of fun with a ton of power. I had mine on the New Mexico BDR and it was a blast.

I'm really glad I grabbed it!! |

Took the new bike out in the wild today. Rode around a loop out in the Superstitions this morning. Bike went everywhere, with ease. Up and down rocky hills, through a wash with a little water in it, and even hit some sand.
Didn't drop it once!! Almost in the sand, but I saved it!!  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

How were your wheelies while roosting?
