Wait for the 2000 “Millennium”. Getting way beyond ridiculous. Especially for an “adventure” bike with off-road pretensions. We already passed the threshold of adequate power for this class of bike. Rather they focus on weight now instead of displacement.

I ride a 1050 Adventure and let me tell you, I love that bike to bits. I rode on the new 1300 GS and I'd take my 1050 over it any time of the day. I'll most likely skip the upgrade to the 1390 though. It's just too expensive for my current situation but in a few years, when the 1490 or 1590 SA hits the market I'll be there for it.

Bought a new 1290 SAS that had some great end of year deals last fall and have to say I'm happy that I did. I was already expecting a 1390 SAS to be in the works, but having already seen the 1390 Super Duke, I didn't want to risk getting stuck with an even uglier headlight. Seeing it now in the spy shots it's not as bad as the Super Duke with its visor-like headlight, but I still prefer the 1290's headlights more. Plus, with the kind of deal I got the 1290 for, I'd be waiting another 2-3 years to get the same sort of thing for the new 1390. All-in-all, looks like some nice updates on the way, but I'm in it for the long haul with my still fairly new 1290 SAS. As for the SMT variant, I like it. I almost never offroad, so having the 17 inch front wheel would be nice, but I haven't found the 19 inch wheel to be that much of a drag on the street anyway. Won't be enough to sway me for it, but hey who knows what the future will bring in 5 or 10 years?

@davidkendall1614 Ай бұрын

“Winglets” on an ADVENTURE tourer with pannier racks? What brain trust came up with THAT? That must have been a contributed idea from the parts department trying to boost sales of replacements when the winglets get smashed off. Or maybe it’s not a downforce benefit (not doing 200 mph on THIS after all), they have a real problem with HEAT and are attempting air deflection? Either way, fail.

Checking in from South Africa, there is pretty hardcore adventure community here. Many KTM 1190s and 1290s with well over 60 000kms ripping about. I personally owned an 1190 without a hint of trouble over 32 000kms. The big v twins are reliable, the 790 and 890 allegedly not, but the rumour mill has created a ridiculously inaccurate perception of KTM reliability.

For me personally if SMT gonna happen in this Generation I would prefer 990 SMT sounds more reasonable then 1390. I Mean if 990 engine that have enough power, less weight and price. Price around 13-14k (might be) great position more then 1390. Yep just my opinion.

If you don't plan to hit up a dirt road any more often than you would via a standard 17-inch wheel motorcycle, the SM-T seems like a more comfy place to be, without sacrificing much agility over a 17-inch wheel naked sports bike. Anyway. I hope the burlier engine options come in a new sports-touring SDGT flavor. Not that it needed more power.

If they are going to monitor the engine they are going to do it on an engine dyno as it is much more repeatable and contained in the event of a failure. If they are collecting strain or vibration on the chassis and its components they would collect the data as they are in the photos. Same goes if they were collecting data with thermocouples.

Buy a ktm and see it superceded within 2yrs, or so, thereby seeing it depreciated over night. Plus spare parts will dry up sooner rather than later, that's if you can get any anyway. Simply changing a model name doesn't require them to make spares for it beyond 10yrs from homologation. As many here have said, ktm needs to work on reliability and a slow, purposeful evolution would be better than to make models exstinct every 2 yrs or so!
