For the full review, head to Jalopniik/Lanesplitter just posted a review claiming the new Honda AT is better than KTM's big bikes off road .Now I don't gulp any brand's Kool-Aid, but I found this hard to believegranted, this is one rider's opinion and he did admit to being fairly inexperienced. Vs the Africa Twin: 1) Performance! The 1190's have 150 HP, will do 0-60 in 2.7 seconds, the 1/4 mile in 10.2 seconds and 155 mph. Granted we will likely not need that level of performance, but who would not want it??? The AT with 100 HP and 115 MPH top speed is likely adequate, but I was not hoping for adequate when I selected my dream bike.

If you like to live in the past and have never experienced anything other than a pushrod V-twin, I would highly suggest you step Video: Chris Burch Conquers New Zealand With The KTM 1190 Adventure R.

The 2014 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 received new Adventure Bike styling and electronic aids like Traction Control and ABS as standard equipment. I think the topic is the difference between the Africa Twin and the KTM 1190 R. Not the merits of simple carbureted bikes vs newer KTM's, BMW's, S10's, Tiger's, Strom's, Multi's etc etc. #19 k4Sbyy.
