This KTM offers so much potential with all its technological improvements. However, perhaps KTM should have invested the development money into improving their reliability and customer satisfaction. I know gizmos can sell bikes but I think the average rider would rather know that the engine worked every time and this is how to keep customers.

[JetCityHooligan]

Not interested in the more road oriented models, especially with that funky auto transmission, but I am interested in seeing how the R model looks and hoping it will just be a standard manual transmission with up/down quick shifter. Also curious if they've changed the fuel capacity and the weight at all. More power and torque is always welcome on a SUPER adventure, so that's great to hear.

Bought a 1290 sas 2023, never going to buy KTM ever again, abs pump issue causing panic brake randomly, started to have coolant lost 250ml in 4 days and counting, paint peeling everywhere on the clutch bracket and reservoir, battery drain issue, between 50-80km the steering will wobble uncontrollably, if you let go and will also go right instead of straight. There was also a chemical / electrical smell when starting in the garage KTM dealer said everything was "normal" . The adaptive cruise control took them a month to fix . F them, i traded it and never looking back, lost thousands but that was better then keeping it. Dangerous bike. Believe everything you see in forums about KTM, it’s not exaggerated. Extremely unreliable!

[robb]

Hopefully KTM puts a more comfortable seat on the new bike(s)!!

[unlimitedcosmicspeed]

Well done KTM! Love time to trade in? hmmm

[mi_]

1290 super adventure s and r are on sale for people that dont like the looks. Jim aim has a brand new 1290 r for 14, 500 which is a great price

[leward]

Little disappointed, I thought this was going to be a direct competition model to the Ducati Pikes Peak and RS

[urbanstrencan]

Their promotion video showing that is going to be a proper hooligan 😊❤.
Keep up with great work bringing us videos like this😊🤟🤟 and what happened to podcast 😢

[Sagara]

No « SMT » version with a 17’ front wheel? Such as M1000XR or Multistrada Pikes Peak? 😢

[GaryV-ph]

The multistrada is still by far the best looking adventure bike

[idngeqh]

Looks like I’m getting a new bike in 2025… will be hard to decide between BMW or KTM. Long time owner of both here !!

[viperq]

I like to see how this compares with the V4 Multistrada.

[robb]

The seat on my GS is very comfortable!
And the seat on my goldwing I'd very comfortable too.
They can make comfortable seat if they want to!

[spockjenkins]

Sticking to the Tiger, as I’m done with chain drives.

[VARider]

I'm on my dealer's reservation list for the new 1390 SAS EVO. The bummer is I have to wait for the 2026 model here in the US.

[abymathew]

Does it have a blind spot detection system...i think thats one safety system thst every motorcycle should get

[cg]

Is KTM working on releasing a 1390 SAR ?

[grizzlystr]

Can’t understand why bike manufacturers continue to release super horsepower, super expensive bikes which only a few can afford when Dealers are closing everywhere & the industry is up the creek

[Toxicdemon]

I like it. the headlight definitly looks good on the Adventure. Not a fan of the ATM tho

[gavfr]

Best improvement! They got rid of that hideous headlight!
