How long is the wait to buy the new 1190s? Are they difficult to find right now?
I was just joking. I'm an advocate for ABS, even on the dirt.
Is the fuel injection closed loop?
My only skepticism, does it still take 4 hours to change the oil?????
I haven't really followed KTM adventure bikes. How is the long term reliability? I have heard of dozens of 100,000 mile GS's, but for the life of me I can't recall the mention of a single KTM in this range. As I said, I haven't really paid attention and there could be hundreds, just wondering.

Late response I know, but that's why you always shop around no matter how good of a deal your insurance company has given you in the past. I pay less than $90 a month on three 1000+cc bikes, B-King included...... Three years ago I quoted a brand new B-King (Hayabusa motor) I was getting OTD for $7,500 and insurance was $2,200 a year.
Mach 1=100? Nice review.
1100 miles and in need of third rear tire...you are trying to compete with SlowOldGuy you are bringing this to RTBCurrently at 1100+ miles on the bike. Break has been completed at 600 miles as far as I'm concerned. TKC 80s and a UNI Filter were installed at 550 miles. As the lyrics from the Metallica song Wanderer sound out through my Scala G9 I turn off HWY 30 onto Davis Rd, stop the bike and set the ABS to Off-Road mode and the power setting to Off-Road. Off-Road mode = destroy the TKC. It allows two revolutions of the rear tire to one of the front. Off-Road ABS allows locking up the rear tire while allowing you to grab all the front brake without incident that you want. The suspension is quite remarkable, on road it is harsh off road it performs awesome. I also added the Wings heat shields they help, but I am not sure they are even needed. Added a Wolfman tailbag and tankbag for tools and supplies. Very impressed with the bike. Another rear tire has already arrived. May need to find an alternative.
