At about the same time that KTM gained fans in America, when it’s line of motorcycles were first introduced in 1968, there was a rush to test-drive these super-efficient sport cycles with powerful engines. Fast forward to 2015, and riders are still testing and then marveling at the line of KTM motorsports and motocross racing bikes offered in large, midrange and traditional style road race styles. KTM’s longtime racing sponsorship is the reason why the 2015 „Super Adventure” is happening.
Meanwhile, biking fans say they appreciate KTM’s line of off-road bikes because there’s adventure trail riding models for every motorcycle rider’s interest. There’s a wide range of KTM motorcycles with 200, 250 and 300 two-stroke models; while the manufacturer also offers off-road models with 250, 450 and 530 four-strokes. In turn, these models boast “plusher suspension” and what riders refer to as a wider ratio transmission that sets KTM apart from the competition.

The 1290 Super Adventure offers great performance in many areas. The DOHC, 75-degree v-twin’s 160hp is more than enough, there’s plenty of mid-range torque, and the rider can choose from four riding modes. The comfort is almost as good as on a luxury touring machine, ride is almost turbulence-free, grips and the seat is heated, and even the pillion gets generous hand-holds. The electronics arsenal is also impressive: standard cruise control, brilliant ABS system with Brembo brakes, LED headlights, semi-active damping system etc.
The 2015 KTM 1290 Super Adventure is a refined, comfortable, safe and versatile bike and looking at the price tag, KTM knows that. But at the end of the day, the „super” prefix is fully deserved.

KTM motorcycle racing history
There is little doubt in motorcycle racing circles in Europe and the U.S. today that KTM is the “boss” when it comes to boosting the popularity of its dirt bikes that race like crazy in all regions of the continent. Racing is a “testing ground for our different models,” stated a longtime KTM motorcycle expert commenting online. In turn, the expert bragged how KTM has “actually revolutionized” dirt bike riding and racing across Europe and the United States today.
Overall, there is no doubt that KTM continues to dominate the international dirt bike market with the company’s modern motorcycle designs that are second to none in both appearance and engine quality. In fact, KTM is credited with being the very first to produce an electric-powered off-road motorcycle. The company is bullish when it comes to producing true “green” environmentally friendly bikes of all types and sizes.
