    BMW 1200GS vs KTM 990 ADV

    I think you should ask yourself: What am I going to use the bike for? Although the 1200GS and 990 Adv are pretty close in terms of versatility, and being perfect all-rounders, there is a slight different approach. The KTM 990 Adventure is the perfect weapon for blasting week-end rides. It's...
