Who's had an africa twin as well as one of the above ktm's?
As I get closer to the end of the pcp deal I'm trying to decide what direction I should go.. I really like the AT DCT but the 1190 has always cought my eye and I have kinda fancied one for a few years.. I rode one briefly a couple of years ago when I had my bmw R1200GS LC and thought it was a weapon, fantastic and thrilling engine and ride, but it was only a 10 minute blast. I think it's probably a more thrilling and desirable bike than the AT but at a similar cost for a decent used example..
The ktm 950/990 adventure I imagine is very similar to the AT in terms of power/handling and all round ability etc but I'd be more likely to use one off road due to it already being fairly old and not in mint condition like my AT, and could possibly buy one for half the price of the AT.. I used to have a ktm 950SM so I am familiar with the engine..
I don't want it to sound like I'm not a fan of my AT, because I really do love riding it, even though its probably the least powerful bike I've had since I passed my bike test over 20 years ago..
I'd appreciate your thoughts and experience.. Ta
