Re: my new KTM 1290 adventure R
And how do you feel about the change from the S10 to the KTM. Happy with your choice ? I am about to do the same. Did a test ride on the 1290 and it is indeed :woohoo: but that is only after a half an hour testride. Anything you like to share...welcomespasm wrote:well its fair to say ive well and truly bonded with the tangerine dream, this thing flies and handles superbly, shes all run in and rides lovely now.
