KTM 1190 Adventure

[tatters]

Picked this up after a 14 hour round trip to Alberta with my truck. 2016 model with all the extras including electronic (EDS) suspension and factory hard panniers plus some other goodies.

Guy was selling it a good $3k less than others advertised with low mileage. Thankfully he honour the deal after getting a number of offers way higher after the deal was made.

My wife was not happy with another bike in the garage.

I mentioned before in my KZ750 Thread about how the vehicle insurance is only provided by SGI (Saskatchewan government insurance). Which is extremely expenses for motorcycles unless they are older than 1987 or under 400cc. A 1000cc sports bike is over $3000-3500 per year.

Well according to SGI this bike is classed as a offroad/dualsport model so is only $1300 per year which is less to insure than a Harley Davidson

Another shitty thing is all used vehicles over $5K (based on SGI book value) are taxed at 6% for each new owner. So l had to pay bloody tax on a used bike from a private sale.

So glad l grew up biking in the UK....

Took the 1190 for a 2 day ride to BC and back with some trail riding back in the summer. Nice to be riding a bike with descent power again.
