Let it be known right here…The 2022 KTM 1290 Super Adventure S maybe the most complete motorcycle I have ever had the pleasure of riding. It is full of KTM character and an absolute beast on the road. When KTM Premium Kuala Lumpur and KTM Malaysia asked if I would like to take the 1290 while we were waiting for parts for my 990 to come in, I jumped at the chance. Of course! Mad not to!

My Mum always told me that the best things always come in small packages. Well, in the case of the KTM390 Adventure that old adage may ring true. Austrian manufacturer KTM needs no introduction. They are well known for their success in the Dakar rally, and for their growling large capacity, heavy weight, v-twin adventure bikes. But wait, is that what an adventure bike has to be?
