It’s that time of the year again; trying to tie off the year’s responsibilities when really, all we want to do is pack up and go, especially on an 1190 Adventure R!

You can read our latest test on the 2016 KTM 1190 Adventure R by Mark Stenberg here.

The mind wanders off rebelliously to the rides you’d rather be having and the people you’d rather be having them with, to the adventures over the horizon.

When it comes to unique experiences of the adrenaline-fuelled kind, there’s no motorcycle quite as enthusiastic and forthcoming as KTM’s famous no-compromise Travel Enduro – the 1190 Adventure R.
