I think it would complement the GS perfectly as a touring bike that you can take proper liberties with when using it off-road, post your opinions on it later on.

boboneleg Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I think this is off-road Near the top of the Stella Alpina in 2005, my mates Varadero is on the right, I'm behind him sorting something out on my Transalp. Take no notice of the others, they are mere casuals on their lightweight enduro bikes (or they got more sense than us) My mate found out on the way back down that the linked brakes on his Varadero were not a good idea on snow covered hairpin bends 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 This is Ryknild Street, a roman road in Gloucestershire. That's a KTM990 Adventure courtesy bike that the dealer loaned me for the day when my 950 was in for a recall issue. That track is not hard to ride but the 990 made it hard work as the fuelling was sooooooooooo jerky. When I took it back they asked if I would like to upgrade to the 990, I politely declined 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
