2009 KTM 990 Adventure and Adventure R review
By Geoff Walker on 31/03/2010 16:34:45
KTM’s mighty Adventure gets the R treatment, creating the most hardcore adventure bike on the market. But when the standard version’s so damn good, is the R an essential overlander or a cynical marketing exercise?

Buyer Guide: KTM 990 Adventure
By Visordown on 26/11/2010 10:13:06
While a brand new 990 Adventure’s a nice idea, the subtle nature of KTM’s update means the previous model is far from obsolete. And with prices now at 600 supersport money, the most versatile machine on the planet is within reach.
1. Old vs. NewThe 2009 R model may be all-new but it’s not a replacement for the standard bike, more a hardcore alternative with more of an off-road bias. The previous Adventure has lower suspension than the R, making it easier to manage physically

First Ride: KTM 1190 Adventure review
By Ben Cope on 07/02/2013 00:25:13
Two-thirds of KTM's 260 technicians had a hand in the 1190 Adventure project. It's a big deal for KTM but will it be a bigger deal for the opposition?
of last year after almost 10 years. When you look at the growing list of Adventure bikes, the 990 Adventure is arguably still the best bike for the type of riding these bikes pretend they get used for: unpaved roads. So it’s ironic then that in order

BMW R1200GS Adventure vs. Moscow
By Jon Urry on 29/11/2010 13:36:29
Behind the Iron Curtain with only a BMW R1200GS Adventure for company, Comrade Urry sets out to explore a rapidly changing Moscow
and driving licence. I'm scared.Another officer writes something down. It says '60kph', which I assume is the speed limit, '120kph', my speed, and '100 Euros'.I take out the money but the policeman won't accept it. He's pointing down the road and getting

Living with a 2009 BMW R1200GS Adventure
By John Cantlie on 23/05/2009 11:02:50
John Cantlie's long term impressions of the BMW R1200GS Adventure
of Oslo. True Adventure men never fully trust new-fangled GPS devices and always carry a Michelin map in the topbox, anyway.Which leaves me a bit of quandary. Part of the plan with longterm tests is to improve your ride with a plethora of bolt-on bits

First Ride: 2006 BMW R1200GS Adventure
By Niall Mackenzie on 20/09/2010 20:03:34
If you fancy a lap of the planet put one of these on your shopping list. R1200GS gets the Adventure treatment
, and an excellent location to put the latest GS to the test.The Adventure's rugged appearance suggests it means business, so if racking up miles at high speed on roads and loose trails is your bag then this beast is certainly built to deliver the goods
