  • Sold both of my bikes today. Im after something new. Not a sports bike, rather a dual sport adventure deal.
    I very much like the KTM 990 adventure. Looking to garner the opinion of you, the more experienced bikers before I splash the cash.
    A good or bad choice?

  • I've got a 990smt.

    So I'm biased, but great choice!
    The engine is nuts, proper hooligan bike. Can shift on road still even, and take you wherever off road.

    They're pretty reliable. Some know issues have a look of ktmforum, for Adv ones, but mainly relate to the carb 950 model rather than 990 efi, which had issues sorted. Mines been pretty reliable, given I've put 15,000 a year on it and ridden it hard.
    Can be a bite more expensive than some bikes to service as labour intensive, but if you can do it yourself it's super easy bike to work on.

    You won't regret it.

    If you have any questions about a bike ask, I know the motor mostly inside out now.
