So back in October I let go my beloved HD Road Glide for something more adventurous.
The KTM 1190
The quick on some of the specs and features that attracted me to this bike.
MTC / motorcycle traction control
Adjustable by 4 ride modes dirt/ rain/ sport/ street
ABS with three modes On/ Off/ Off-road (which is abs front only)
Lean angle abs brakes that work in conjunction with the mtc.
Hydraulic butter smooth 1 finger pull clutch
Quick shifter no clutch needed
Electronically controlled suspension means you don’t need to be a suspension tech, you just select from the menu what you want it to feel like. ie the load or the terrain.
And I’m not going to lie with purchasing in October I was very pleased to find the previous owner had installed heated grips that are controlled in the main menu.
So the power plant
1190 LC8 V twin making 150hp/ 100hp in rain or off-road modes
The extras on this bike
Nice throaty GPR slip on
Sw motech hard pannier system (quick release)
Ktm hard tail bag (looks awful but handy and quick release in seconds)
Tour tech headlight guard
Heated grips
Short tinted wind screen (adjustable 3”)
Adjustable anodized levers
Anodized caps everywhere
