2017 KTM Adventure Range.

besides the lights , it kind of looks the same as the old bike , the engine will no doubt be cracking...
Bets it's still as heavy as fuck though , and as for new tech , the colour dash,who's phoning option and corner lighting have been on the Ducati's for the last 2 years......

I do like the headlight though
 
The front reminds me of a Pegaso actually

No way we will know until at least the NEC show in late November - best hope the £ strengthens a bit between now and then ;)


Me - I will wait a couple of years until KTM do there usual trick of knocking a few grand off once the initial hype has died down :D

I was wrong - full prices now on the KTM web site :blast

1290 S £14,299
1290 R £14,499
1090 S £11,299
1090 R £12,149
1290 T £15,499

So for example the 1290 S is £300 more than the old 1190 S and the 1290 T is actually cheaper than the old 1290 SA (before current discounts of course).

I saw that . Pleasantly surprised ! Given the extra tech and specs I think those prices are ok ish

Good grief - we agree on something :D

Yes given the upgrade to 1290 engines and some extra standard kit - the prices look competitive.

Just have to wait for KTM UK to over order them and pick up a discounted one next winter ;)

Pity we cannot all avoid paying the VAT :P

And you get 20% off those prices.:thumb

Git!:D
 
I'd wouldn't have an Akra if KTM paid me to fit one, have you seen how fecking ugly they are?

That'll be to meet Euro 4 emissions !!
No exhaust is sexy any more ! But I've had Akras on every KTM for well over a decade . The two companies have always worked closely together.
It doesn't look bad !

Wings looks and sounds miles better, but you'll have to pay the VAT.

But Wings don't have the development budget that Akra shares with KTM

It's the size that kills it for me, not really much smaller than the standard abomination that KTM fit. Given the end can makes little/no difference to performance it maters little how much KTM and Akra have worked together?

I agree with Cookie re Wings (but then I would as I have one ;) ).
