Great bike, I had one very similar and always regretted letting it go hence I’m looking for another one. I like the look of them with the high front mud guard.
I'm thinking about picking one up. Glad to see a review. I was VERY happy to see that the cams are partially gear driven so you don't need to faff with the chain getting the cams out!
almot bought second ktm 950/990 this year(had to sold my frst one few years back). But their prices went so high that 2018 africa twin isnt that much more expensive so that was easy decision ;
Nice review, your probably one of the few people who have posted a review of this bike recently as in 2021 / 2022. Since you said you have experience riding other bikes, have you ridden the Africa Twin? If so, how does it compare? Also, for maintaining the bike are parts still available?
I've never ridden an Africa Twin sadly - but I imagine this is fairly similar. I believe the Africa is a bit taller and weighty so not the easiest thing to handle off road. Especially the Adventure. Just my take!
3:20 gearing and first is not tall at all... idk why so many people say taht about adv bikes, probably lack of experience to properly ride slowly? never had issue with any adv bike on stock gearing, you have clutch for a reason
dont be that guy with high fender on adv bike 😂😂🤢🤢👍🏻👍🏻 but iguess it is a period most of adv riders have at the beginning, but sooner or later u grow up from it ;

Sweet... I've had mine for about a week I'm digging the h*** out of it..
Great video.
Thanks for sharing.
Would you be so kind in sharing where you got the front shocks plastic covers / guards?
Cheers

also, shorter gearing make power more manageable? 😂 lol no, exactly the opposite ;
Thanks for the overview. Can you tell us more about the high fender? I can't find one for my 2008 990 Adv ABS.

@@Angry-Lynx Wow, thanks for the advice.
KTM 990 Adventure is a motorcycle cult nowadays. It's a great bike and KTM will never produce an adventure bike like the 990 Adv.
