Opinions vary widely on the long-term reliability of KTM motorcycles, but no one disputes that they’re high-performance machines. The 1190 Adventure has been on the market for long enough for some owners to have clocked up plenty of miles. I have posed this question in search of others' experiences pushing their 1190s to high mileage counts. Do you have any common issues that crop up? What’s the maintenance and durability in comparison to other adventure bikes? Some riders have reported excellent reliability, while others have been through expensive repairs. This is not to say that the bike will not last, but factors like how well the bike is maintained, what sort of riding you have been doing on it, and what year the bike was manufactured all can play a part. It will also help potential buyers to make more informed decisions and current owners to anticipate possible problems.
