Given that there have been absolutely no leaked pics of an Adventure 1190,I reckon KTM have delayed the launch until 09/10,possibly to fix the motor and address the problems in the RC8,namely the FI and gearbox.
In the meantime,they have developed a stop-gap Adv 990 that takes some cues from the SE to bridge the gap slightly.
It would tie in with the fact that KTM have already stated that they are no longer going to produce the 950SE,as it was just too tall for 90% of riders/Oonyacks (
)
I think that the pic below is probably genuine and not just a paintshop jobby or some owners creation.
So,could this be the real deal,a 990 Adv R to be launched at Milan next month ?
