Julian’s ridden and written about pretty much every KTM to come off the production line over there past couple of decades, so there’s no-one better placed to provide expert analysis on the Austrian manufacturer’s big V-twin powered machine.

We delve deep into the action behind the scenes of the press launch, discuss the history of KTM’s adventure bikes, find out how the 1290 delivers its 160hp on the road, and discuss a motorcycle dripping with technology, including radar assisted cruise control, semi-active suspension, and a TFT display that rivals an iPad for features and display quality.
