The KTM 1190 Adventure is a 1195 cc V-twin adventure touring motorcycle from the Austrian manufacturer KTM. The model was revealed at the October 2012 Intermot trade show for the 2014 model year.[1]
The motor is based on the powerplant in the RC8 sportbike.[2] Like the RC8, and unlike its predecessor the 990 Adventure, the 1190 Adventure uses ride-by-wire throttle.[3] Cycle World and Motor Cycle News noted the electronic rider aids including ride-by-wire and electronic suspension control, up until now foregone by KTM to emphasize off-road performance, are intended to position the 1190 Adventure against technologically advanced street-going rivals like the Ducati Multistrada 1200.[4][5] It is the first bike with Bosch's Anti-Lowside Technology, the so-called Motorcycle Stability Control (MSC).[6]

With the 1190, however, the company has added a comprehensive electronics suite, including available electronically adjustable WP suspension, to compete on level terms with more tarmac-oriented ADVs."

Now it’s got riding modes, tyre pressure monitoring, electronic preload… It's the most versatile bike I've ever ridden"
