Hi all! Just looking for some opinions and advice. Looking at getting either a KTM 1090R or a 1190R. Pros and Cons. Cheers.

Re: Which one?
Just returned from South Africa and got to do some riding out there with mates. Tested a friends 1190 R back to back with a R1200GS and must admit, that i've come back to the UK and will be selling my Fireblade (again) and getting another GS (again)! LOL
I found the GS to be great off road and on the road for a nice Sunday morning scratch!

Re: Which one?
I started my fondness of bikes on plastic race reps and then on to trails and enduros, finally on to adv's.

Re: Which one?
I have no reference between the 1090R and 1190R unfortunately - but did seriously consider a 1090R for myself in the Autumn - I loved riding it and it was a very engaging and exciting machine on the road.
I did however 'settle' on a GSA purely based on money - greater age and mileage made more financial sense - however I still think about the 1090R an awful lot.
I would think both are pretty good machines - I would have liked to try the 1290R as the salesman described it as the most bonkers bike he has ever ridden (this was a road racer in Northern Ireland btw)

Re: Which one?
You really need to try them for yourself, I've heard the 1090 is now regarded as the better bike but I've no experience myself other than owning a 1050 and that is a great road bike, 19"/17" wheels as standard, still pigs off road though.ktmpedro220 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 06, 2019 7:07 pm Hi all!
