Been there,but MUCH prefer my GSA to the Adv 950 S.
I also think that the 950 motor was much nicer in the Adventure than the 990,as the carbed motor was SOOOOOO much smoother that the FI on the 990.
But I just love the 990 fitted in the Superduke.
Should be even better next week once the Akra Evo full system goes on withy remap.

So I finally gave in to the voices and arranged a test ride.....on a 990....
Luved it apart from the snatchy throttle
Dealer (Thorne Superbikes) reckons that can be sorted, said to ring him next week and arrange another demo after techy has worked his magic....Take the bike for half a day to some familiar roads n see wot I think then.....If i still thought it no good....walk away.....

Picked up my 990 adventure from Nick Marshall last week and spent 7 hours riding it to Scotland on a coastal route yesterday. Had trouble deciding between a 1200GS and the KTM but after yesterday I'm glad I've made the choice I have. Yes the throttle is a problem which I've got to get sorted but once thats done it'll be perfect.

Hey Mike
Don't tell me Nick caught you as well
I bought my 990 of him earlier this year and i have to say its one of the best bikes i have ever owned.
Forget all the throttle hype (which is a slight issue) and enjoy!!

Yeah, Nick must sell more KTM 990 Adventures than most KTM dealers. What a fantastic bike, I couldn't be happier.

Mine's gone
I could see we were not meant to be and why delay the inevitable. Nice bike, but after riding it everyday for a week, it wasn't working for me. Oh well.
That Tiger 1050 looks nice
