So I bought the S rather than the R after doing some research. Key points: the R is not stable at high speed 70mph+ compared to the S (high mudguard maybe?). The S is as capable off-road for most riders: only those looking for extreme capability would benefit from the R. I have had 3 GSAs and I love the one I still have, but at 68 years of age I'm now struggling to pick it up (repeatedly) and it has become a confidence issue. KTM 790 Adventure, no bother (so far)!

I just sold my 1190 Advrnture R and was in the market for a middleweight. I test rode the 850 GS and the 790 Adventure back to back. Both great bikes, but spot on with this report, the 790 is fantastic. The engine pulls amazingly and it feels so light, especially in comparison with the 850. One correction I would say is that there are some cracking deals to be had, I bought one and got a cracking price and in comparison to the 850 thousands less. Another good point is there is now quite a long list of extras available, which are on my xmas wish list. A real winner and pretty much agree with everything said.

@@everythinggaming7938 Yes, I know that - in most cases, anyway - ( TMF, and others, get quite a few of their long term test bikes straight from the manufacturer ) I just feel that when an adventure/offroad bike is lent out to a motovlogger the manufacturers should be prepared to cover the risk of the bike getting a bit bent while being ridden down the lanes. After all, quite a few of the motovloggers give the bike a bit of a caning on the roads, and there's, probably, a higher risk of seriously damaging the bike then, don't you think. Both the dealership and the manufactuer benefit from more sales. Just my opinion, anyway.

Great review Mr Chops, the most pertinent yet to me, as I want a bike for touring holidays that can handle the odd gravelly track in the hills, not elephantine, and still be fun to ride. I've been riding a KTM 1090 Adventure for the last couple of years, and it's a great bike, but it would be nice if it was an inch lower and a few kilos lighter. So next year when it's time to change I'll try this and the Tenere, maybe also the Guzzi TT850. The 850 GS just seems too heavy, the same weight as my 1090 KTM but a lot less power.

I'm looking more and more at smaller bikes from all classes these days. I think it may be the way to go as you can have so much more fun rinsing a smaller bike as opposed to tickling a big one. If it was properly spec'd in terms of light weight, decent brakes & suspension with a characterful 45ish bhp engine, a 250 or 400 would be ample & I'd be first in line.

hardly a bike for the vertically challenged with its 830/850mm seat. It's for more touring style riders who like "off-road" whenever it comes into the equation. The low weight distribution, its fuel down low, helps in off-bitumen excursions. Great seat heights for normal height guys. Anyone around 5'8" (173cms) or shorter will still only have one leg on the ground when stopped. 180/183cms (in boots) is perfect both feet down for total confidence on surfaces such as gravel. The great thing is even the S version has 233mm ground clearance, around 240mm with more off road biased tread which equals the Tenere 700. The seat, the tyre tread, bigger screen all contribute to making it the better of the two versions on road

KTM's habit of charging extra to unlock stuff that's already installed on the bike is a large part of why I bought an S1000R instead. I got my 2017 fully loaded (QS, forged wheels, dynamic suspension) for 4k CAD less than the Super Duke R (and that's even before I paid $300 to unlock the extra modes). It's true that the S1KR is missing a bit of character compared of a big v-twin but not 4 grand less. KTM, if you're going to put the hardware on the machine regardless, don't charge us extra for the getting to use it.

It's just that front end, the headlight, how it's mounted is awful, the 1290 looks amazing, it's like this one was born and hasn't fully grown into itself yet 😅

I have the Adventure, you have to turn off the anti wheelie mode ( Mtc).
@ecosse_adv5 жыл бұрын
Anti wheelie is active in both street and rain modes....switch it to off road if you want to pop a wee one.

so many that buy the R model could have bought the S model and it would have been enough! People assume this is a road bike but its more capable than the Tenere 700 for example. just switch tires for knobblies and you are good to go right where the R model goes. 99% of the riders wont make a difference! :D

To Mongolia on a 790 (non R), Adventure ride report is worth a read - seems to cope pretty well on rough roads etc. advrider.com/f/threads/madrid-nyc-mongolia-solo-on-a-ktm-790-adventure.1378256/

Awesome review but to be honest I don’t think that bike is very good looking so, as good as it is, that would be a deal breaker for me.

Great bike, it has the incredible technology of auto chain lube mechanism. .....

Not as exciting as 701 enduro was my first ride impression on the R version. More civilised. Does wheelie in rally mode . You don't get that in non R model.

Omg, I cannot help but think about ball bags every time I run into a 790 Adventure now... LoL

I reckon ball bags are the future Husqvana have them on 710. Ball bags are on there way!
