2016 KTM 1290 Super Adventure
KTM’s two 1190 Adventures stand ready to do serious riding on- and off-road. The new 1290 Super Adventure is KTM’s entry in the “enduro travel” segment, which makes it more of a sport-tourer than an off-road motorcycle.
Also with various electronics, the Super Adventure has semi-active WP suspension, which is ideal for both aggressive and casual riding. A fuel tank that holds nearly eight gallons gives you wide flexibility when picking a route, as visits to the gas station will be infrequent. A luggage rack and case carriers are standard, so all you need to do is add paniers to take on the world
