My T7 vs my sons KTM SuperDuke 1290r reliability. Both less than a year old. My T7 zero problems, the 1290r has a head leaking oil. Going in for warranty work tomorrow. Hopefully you are on road when it fails, (close to a tow) It’s practically impossible to push a big adventure bike very far off road. I told him to stay away from KTM. My first KTM purchase was last year in July. I bought a brand new 2015 1290 Super Adventure. I’d been eye-balling the 1190 Adventure R for a while and taking a 1190 standard Adventure for a couple of test rides didn’t make things any easier. The level of comfort in the over-all layout of the 1190 and 1190 R were second to none. Visit MCN for expert reviews on KTM ADVENTURE bikes today.

I would only buy a 2015, 2016 because of the frame and airbox issue (Even though previous did have a Rottweiller intake.) I wanted the R because of the spoke wheels and better off-road capability (I ride off road not that much, honestly.) ZrY0.
