Ladies and Gentlemen,
I went out for a pootle on the new Adventure S yesterday at Colin Collins in Harrow and it is mighty fine indeed.
Firstly for all of you bike polishers our there, it is ORANGE. Not Mandarin, but Tangerine with a metal flake finish and looks the bone if you like it big 'n' bright.
Fit and finish seems very good and the spokes are stain-less steel and twice the daimeter of the toothpicks on the GS.
The black rims look very well too.
For any readers less than 183cm (6 feet outside of Euroland) stop now!!!
You won't have a hope.
For all you real men, start saving.
It is the biz. Good power but slightly higher in the rev range to that available on a GS1150. Even with only 250miles on the clock you can rev to 6500RPM and it flys. Can't imagine what it would be like once run in.
Did I say it was tall? Treatment for altitude sickness will probably be required for London dwellers and the Dutch...
The bike feels like a racehorse compared to the Draft mare we are currently used to riding.
I even managed a little dirt today and it seems to like golf courses, a lot.
Get down to a local KTM dealer and see for yourself,
Pat.
