The KTM 1190 Adventure R is notorious for its powerful engine and advanced features and scary for new adventure-riding people. Others will tell you that starting with a smaller, nicer bike is a better way to learn and gain confidence. There are those who believe that the 1190’s riding modes and electronic aids make it suitable for all levels of rider as well. And there is always that question of whether a beginner can make the most of the bike's abilities or whether it is better to grow into a machine over time. It also opens up debate over the weight and size of the bike, which can be a problem when riding off-road for less experienced riders. But its proponents also claim that its versatility makes it a one-bike solution for both on- and off-road adventures, which could save you money in the long run.
