So, this was fun. We decided to answer an important question:Can the stalwart KTM 990 Adventure riders at last trade in their bikes? Is the KTM 790 Adventure the new dirt supremo? After a day of jumping, railing, sliding, dragging and dropping both, we think we know:https://thebikeshow.co.za/the-battle-for-dirt-supremacy-ktm-790-adventure-r-vs-ktm-990-adventure-r/
If I may ask, whose bike is the 990R? Because that look exactly like my old 990.

I believe the only reason the 790 out-dragged the 990 is weight, or lack of it.There is a 20kg difference between them, and this is why the 790 is off quicker.

I can really not wait for a head to head between the T7 and the 790!
