Talking about wind, does anybody else get confused by the wind direction arrow on tv weather forecasts? The wind direction is described by the direction it is coming from e.g a NE is blowing from the North East albeit that it's heading SW. Technically the arrow should then point to the NE like a...

So here's a thing, I went back to Ktm today and relooked at the 1090 and rode it again, cancelled the 1190 and get a new 1090 next week.  I'm not going to think about this again

Hi, I rode the 1090, albeit only on tar, and I've ridden the 1190. I just felt I was getting more bike with the 1190, as I said I'm not sensitive to super duper suspension, I'm your standard gravel mountain pass rider like many others on the this forum  if you want proper air filters you have to...

So, I have been waiting patiently for the past 3 months to replace my 690 with the 1090R. Today the demo arrived at the KTM distributor and I got my hands and eyes on it for the first time and guess what: nothing,no love at first sight, nothing, and what made matters worse, the standard exhaust...

This report from rider magazine on 1090R had the following power parts fitted for the journalists, note the air filter: To prep our 1090-R test bikes for two days of dusty, sandy, technical off-road riding, KTM equipped them with some useful PowerParts factory accessories: a skid plate...

I like the barrel bags

In Durban the AT is discounted to R180k, 1190 @ R180k and recommended retail for 1090 is R180k R179k)

In my opinion the 1090 would be an upgrade from the 990/1050, the engine is after all built on 1050 technology.  Its not an upgrade from the 1190 and to the best of my knowledge, nobody is saying that???  The 1190 is being discontinued, its as simple as that.  The 1090 sits in the space of the...

My order for a 1090 is a done deal with KTM Durban. The 1190 is a great bike and no owner could possibly justify selling that great bike for a 1090, there would be no point.  The only way forward would be the 1290 for those owners.  The KTM future excludes the 1190 and is the reason I decided to...

Nice video, I think the content pretty much suits an overseas advertising type effort?.  As locals we will always pick away at accents and what constitutes the best pass in the world etc but if you look at it from a tourist perspective, maybe that was the intent and probably does the job?  Well...

Hi I'm planning a trip from Durban to Namibia, can somebody help with some route pointers so I can get to Walvis Bay?  I would be looking for gravel roads and I'm not up for camping.  At this point in time I have no clue on the best route which will only be about Oct/Nov this year.  This is the...

Ok so I have decided to wait for the 1090R (for the moment). The only issue I have is the limited information the KTM dealers have on when the bike will be released as well as standard features available (I've seen the configurator for options). The average release date is anything from April to...

Yes, i agree on your view and what is available at good pricing, but F%64 it.  My extras are limited to only a bash plate and maybe bottom engine protection.  I don't know yet what i would need for my existing soft luggage on the 1090 though.
