What do you think of the KTM 1090 Adventure and do you agree with our verdict? Tell us in the comments below.
Visordown Motorcycle Reviews: 30hp boost for 2017's KTM 1090 Adventure means big adventure-bike performance at a near entry-level price.
Lower emissions usually require bikes to go up in capacity just deliver the same power.
Not in the case of the KTM 1090 Adventure, which makes 30hp more than its predecessor, the 1050 Adventure, and remains the same capacity despite the name change.
So it’s 125hp instead of 95hp; still 1050cc; and more efficient, in line with Euro4 limits.
The old one was kept at 95hp so that it could be restricted to 47.5hp for A2 licence holders, under rules which say eligible bikes must not make more than double that to begin with.
Now the firm is offering a separate variant that makes 47.5hp out of the box, and which, we are told, cannot be tampered with to unleash the extra 80hp potential of the V-twin motor.
It’s jumping from a swing to a roundabout to meet the fickle demands of people making motorcycle rules in a vacuum of insight, but for once it means more power, at least for those with an unrestricted licence. Quite a lot more power, actually. The fools!
