a) Hold the 2018 for at least another year - its a great machine, just stop falling over. b) Buy the 2022 SAR, swap the parts you can over and sell the 2018 - total cost about $7,000 -$8,000. c) Buy the 2021 890R, get all new parts to build it and sell the 2018 - total cost about $3,000 - $3500. 7 comments.
It’s only once we switched the aids off that it became apparent just how much drive the KTM is trying to generate. It’s a very similar setup found on the BMW GS, the new Ducati Multistrada Enduro and the KTM 1290 Super Adventure. There is no negativity to either system; electronics are in a golden age and on the KTM they perform fantastically. The 890 engine is about as good as a p twin can get, esp after an intake and tune. The Duke is significantly sharper and peppier than my adventure, and is just as nimble as they come. The 1290r is just a different thing, man. I've had hayabusa's, r1's, an ebr 1190, z1000, etc. NOTHING feels like a 1290 sdr.In this exciting side-by-side comparison video, we pit the Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally against the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R, two fierce competitors in theKTM 1290 Super Adventure S is tuned for roads, capable of coping with dust that coincides with gravel and loose ground, while the ‘R’ is orientated for hardcore off-road adventurers who want and need a premium kit to withstand any landscape or terrain.
