I am thinking about buying an 1190R
Question
I sold my 990 and I am thinking about buying an 1190R. What are your guys thoughts I know you all love KTM. After riding the 990 I thought I would get something smaller, but the big bore bikes do it for me. I am by no means a pro rider but I handled my 990 ok for the limited experience that I have. The reason I want to get the 1190 is because it is affordable for me.
Answers ( No )
1090r very much later me the 990 suspension, weight and motor wise. 1190 has crappy suspension (just my opinion) 990 still the best of the bunch I can’t bring myself to sell mine just love it
Try and get a 2016 1190R as there are some big upgrades on that model as apposed to the models prior to that. The 1190R is a fantastic bike and should be enjoyed whit the MTC off. Massive differences between the two bikes
Traded my 2013 990R two years ago for 2016 1190R. No regrets!
Definitely a 2016 1190 it’s awesome
I did exactly that and haven’t looked back! Sold the 990 and got a2016 1199R. Magic on the open road and the tight stuff
Thanks gents. If I may ask was there an upgrade on the 2016 1190R. It seems to be the 1190 of choice here.

The 2016 1190 is a winner ……. !! Considered the best balanced bike of its \n time , incredible variable suspension !!
Being a 950 Adventure rider a friend of mine has a 1190r haven’t ridden it yet but man it has legs on tar sections.\nMy neighbor bought a brand new 1090r and i rode it my word its a balanced bike feels very light and flickable for its size… so its had for me to place it.
Just do it(swoosh)\nðŸ‘
