Hi Shaun, great review, tested the GT and Superadventure S today, loved both but strangely for me I preferred the S, feels completely finished where the GT which is more in the UK doesn’t have the features the S has, interested in next years GT as I think that will be amazing, I did the same route on both bikes and for my riding the handled each as well as each other. For comparison I had a multistrada and the s handled just as well and the engine is more potent, I hate when the bike industry puts bikes into brackets, for me I could easily keep up with mates on superdukes and tuonos on the super adventure.
Yeah the adventure is a very capable bike! To be honest I wouldn't compare it to the GT, it's a very different bike. Glad you had a blast on both, I'd quite happily have them both👍😜
My next bike. Saving at the moment for it
Brian Murphy happy saving, you'll not be disappointed
Tried them all, including the Multistrada. The KTM is by far the best in my opinion.
You've got me grinning from ear to ear, my next bike is going to be a KTM, probably the SD GT. Iv'e forgotten how good the roads are in Germany, I was stationed in Hohne and Herford in the late 80s and mid 90s, and exercised a lot in that area. I must plan a road trip soon, hopefully on a KTM, great videos, keep up the good work.
Cheers Robert, I was also stationed in Herford for 5 years! Yeah its a great place to ride, I've got plenty of rides coming up
Cannot wait to buy one!
Get GSA, You will have way better bike, don't make a mistake
Utter nonsense.
Beautiful town. And I want this bike bad
It’s a great value for money bike. I love the GSA and have owned three, but now having retired, money has to spread around carefully, and those initials that in the past I had no interest in, VFM, have to be considered. It’s a truly great bike and I seriously want one.😎👍🏻🏍🙂
Yeah think if I had the cash I'd get one to keep the GT company😜
I'm glad they went to black and Orange. I didn't like the mostly white on previous models .
I agree! White didn't look good, but they've nailed it with these colours
Gorgeous looking bike, living in a remote island I worry about KTM quality and maintenance costs, would feel safer with a Africa Twin or a Super Tenere I think, but a beautiful bike for sure.
Tank is 23l and good for 300-400km depending on how you are riding. :) Same S-A suspension as the GT, the SD R and SA R have non-S-A.
Hey did it make you rethink your choice of having gone for the GT? I like them both.
No not at all! I test rode this because lots had asked me to see what I thought of it. As I said in the video, adventure bikes aren't really my thing, but if I was to buy one it would be this one.
Love this bike, seen at the Dortmund motorad show, but at 5"7 way to big was on tippy toe`s.definitly best adventure bike on the market.
Temple800
Apparently it can't be lowered, but the seat, pegs, brake and gear levers are all adjustable
Temple800 your tall enough dont be a bitch
Do you find there is any wind buffeting around your head at speed? Or is it clean air and comfortable?
There wasn't any buffeting, but it was extremely loud and annoyingly so.
Another awesome video. I really like this bike. I love my Superduke, but it would be nice to have on of these in the stable for sure.
superduke_eric Warren yeah it's a bit of a weapon, looked at the 0-60 time and she'll do it in 2.9......that's mad
And it corners incredibly for such a tall machine too.
Thanks for this...very enjoyable and informative
micks here you're more than welcome
You can't lower the bike due to the active spring system according to KTM ( I asked).
Thanks for the info.....so it's a no for small people
Unless you get a custom 1mm thick seat made, or rip out 90% of the foam from the stock one? ;)
My dreambike :-)
It's pretty tasty
TheLikeableRider hope to ride it next weekend at local dealer demo event
Please comment on the “Heat” the bike generates. Had the privilege of test riding this incredible machine for 4 hours (city traffic & hwy). Due to the tremendous heat levels I experienced it forced me to move on. Nice video.
I didn't notice any heat on this bike from the two days that I had it, but I hardly did any stop start town ridding. I think they all get a bit warm in this case, my SDGT does in the town, but once on the move it's not noticeable.
Indeed, mine is very cool running. It doesn't even need a heat shield on the rear header like they put on the original SA (T).
I have the carbon in-fill panels fitted which may help.
With the heat coming off the engine you don't need a heated seat.
It does get warmer than a lot of bikes, but even in summer it's not annoying
Disabling rear ABS does not allow you to spin up the rear. This flick is full of errors
May I ask you, do you prefer the GT or Adventure S? I can’t decide between the two, and I’m purchasing next year March-April,.... :)
They're two very different bikes to be honest, if I had the money I'd have both, but it's the GT for me. Ones and adventure bike, the other more sports bike
I enjoy your blogs. But I wondered where did you get your theme song from? The one with the wissle.
Thanks in advance.
And keep up the good work.
Shiny side up!
I got it from CZcams's free music list
TheLikeableRider do you know by any chance what's it called?
Very good and thought provoking video Shaun; a bike I’ve always fancied riding, but would I be brave enough to come away from the shaft drive of my GSA? Cheers and ride safe, Andy.
Andrew Tofts
Personally I don't mind getting all down and dirty with a bit of chain maintenance
I have a pro-oiler fitted, only had to wipe the chain a couple of times in 11,000km, some of it in muck, snow etc. etc. If doing actual off-road, bringing a spare chain is a little easier than a spare shaft. Although I do like shaft drives too.
Really nice bike Shaun. Where does the satnav go and what type/make? Can there be an integrated system like the GSA.?
Mike Stewart that's a Great question! I know you can connect it to your phone for navigation, just like the GS. I'd imagine they have some sort of mount for external sat navs.
There is a piece that clips between the screen mounts. But there are better 3rd party ones. They have always on and ignition switch controlled accessory wores waiting to be connected inside the headlight area and also a full-size accessory socket under a flap just in front of the bars so you can add whatever you like ...
Here in Utah America almost impossible to test ride a KTM! I am considering the 1290 Adventure S or 1290Gt but I have no idea what to get. I love the torque and power specs on the GT but the dual purpose on the Adventure S. I know you mentioned that they are completely different yet may I ask what you would get haven ridden both, if you could only own 1? I do a lot of highway and city miles, never been off-road yet. Thank you, looking forward hearing from you
Me personally I'm not really into adventure bikes, so I have the GT. My opinion of adventure bikes changed slightly after ridding the adventure S, it's super fast and may be a better bike for you. It's all just a bit easier and more comfortable to ride on the highway and town ridding. Needless to say, you can still do all that on the GT without any problem. Both bikes have the same engine, I suppose you just have to decide what sort of seating position you'd like personally.
TheLikeableRider I’ve had a 1400 concours before (Sport Touring) and loved it! Then I became a daddy and sold it. Now my little one is 5 and it’s time to get a bike in my life again:) how do you like your GT? Is it comfortable for long rides? Thank you again for replying !
Claudio Nicoli the stock seat is a bit hard, but I've just done a 4000km trip with not much of a problem. The bike is amazing, there's nothing else that I don't like about it to be honest.
TheLikeableRider that’s a long trip, even for American standards :) thank you again for the help and taking the time to write back, I think I am going with the GT since I can get a better deal on it, and it sounds that both bikes are almost identical besides seating position then. 🤗🤗
Yeah no problem at all, hope it helped make the decision easier
What are the service costs like on the KTM compared to the BMW? That was one of the reasons you didn’t get the Ducati the other year because of the high cost of ownership.
Steve Harrison going by the first service I had done, it's slightly higher than BMW, but still a lot less than the shocking Ducati prices. Seems prices are higher all over the range these days
A bit lower than BMW here in Ireland and MASSIVELY lower than the Ducati D(st)ealer).
$322.00 for the first oil change!
Massively good ride!😄👍. I have the 1190 and love every ride 'cos it's a right laugh.Brilliant bike!
1290 can only be better. Dare not ride one as may like it too much.🙊🐵🙉.
mac46rr
That's what happened to me with the KT, test rode with no intention of buying but bought it a day later lol
Buying one

How do you rate this bike compared to the S1k XR?
Great video btw. Really enjoyed it.
Thanks Max!
It's not really comparable to be honest, two very different bikes! It's definitely got the power of the XR, but comparing an inline 4 to a Vtwin.....
Lots of the same tech on them though, the Super Adventure is more comfortable and a real mile cruncher. The XR is more of a comfortable sports bike.
TheLikeableRider Awesome. Thanks for the reply!
No worries👍😜
I guess I'll wait for updated 1290gt
I've seen some leaked photos, but wasn't sure if I liked the look. Didn't have any paint on it mind!
TheLikeableRider Yeah, the current model looks better, the 2019 model looks messy the way it's put together, but I want to see the final product before I pull the trigger between those two 😉
Nice review. What country are you in?
I'm in Germany
Maps...they are called "maps"!
Hahaha I do that all the time on my adventure, press the ignition button lol. Another great vid. How did you end up in the father land ?
Mark Shirley
I used to be in the military and I was stationed here for 10 years, married a local.....so had to stay lol Love it here
TheLikeableRider I think I’ve said to you before I come over a couple of times a year, the roads are stunning. Catch you in June down the b500 ✌️
European tour needs looking into, friend of mine who was coming, is now not so have to see what happening with me.
TheLikeableRider that’s not cool, I’m sure he has his reasons but that’s ban news . I’m sure you’ll find someone to go in his place. 👍🏼
Oh yeah no worries, if it's too expensive to go on me tod, then I might do a UK tour. My parents have just moved to Scotland, so that could be very convenient lol
Ducati Multistrada 1260
multistrada Enduro a bit the same BH
So ugly , I would never buy one
Don’t be so harsh on yourself, if you want one you should buy it. :)
