THE AGGRESSOR OF ADVENTURE
I’m not your regular adventure riding enthusiast. Let me get that straight before you read another word of this test. So, why do I have the pleasure of putting the KTM 1290 Adventure R to the test? To change my mind.
I work on UAB’s sister magazine, DIRT ACTION, and spend most of my time on motocross tracks and in the single trail. Working with Damien, I've slowly become inquisitive of the adventure world. I have ridden some smaller-capacity adventure bikes and trail/adventure crossover machines such as the DR650, but I've never had the pleasure of getting the whole experience of living with an adventure bike. So, what adventure bike is the most exciting on the market? Which bike will change my mind on adventure, steer me away from motocross tracks and make me switch from log hops to camping spots? The KTM1290 Super Adventure R.
