Buyer Guide: KTM 990 Adventure
By Visordown on 26/11/2010 10:13:06

First Ride: 2007 KTM 990 Adventure review
By Chris Moss on 09/03/2006 19:39:10
KTM's Adventure 990 takes over from the 942cc carburetted v-twin 950, using a bigger LC8 engine and fuel injection. Geordie beer sponge Chris Moss on the launch of KTM's 2007 Adventure
KTM's Adventure 990 replaces the popular adventure-touring 950 but the LC8 engine remains, albeit using fuel injection and a larger 999cc capacity.Not too long ago I wouldn't have liked a bike like this. Like many British bikers, I thought off

First Ride: 2007 KTM 990 Adventure
By Simon Bowen on 20/09/2010 22:49:52
The all-rounder that's the best off-roader gets fuel injection and anti-lock brakes to appeal to the sensible crowd. Has the fun factor been banished too?

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?

By Jon Urry on 06/11/2008 16:37:38
What would get you out of bed an hour early in winter just to play on deserted roads? try the new KTM 990SM or Ducati’s Hypermotard. It certainly worked for us...

Living with a 2008 KTM 990SM
By Barry Tavner on 16/12/2008 11:13:13
