    I have an 890. After a few 6 hour highway rides, I want the 1290 and just deal with the weight for the offroad days.

    Well Smokey, the 890R is about 16.500€ und the 1290R about 23.000€ in Austria as we are the kings of taxes, not too cheap i guess *sighs...

    Here in Singapore, the 890 Adventure R goes for SGD$34,900 whilst the 1290 Adventure R is SGD$47,500. But that doesn’t include the ~SGD$11,000 Certificate of Entitlement (COE) you have to purchase before riding it on the road. So technically, you would have to pay SGD$58,500 (~€40,000) for a 1290 SAR in Singapore. Love the vids Smokey!

    Canada Pricing - 890 R - $15,899.00 & 1290 R - $21,499.00. I thought this would be higher then most countries because Canadian money is like Monopoly money, but really I think Canadians are getting a pretty good deal here.
    And Smokey - shame on you for cheating on your girl while she is right there! You really need to take her out for another night time adventure to make up to her.

    I dunno, I rode an 1190, and bought an 890. The only thing I noticed about the 1190 is it was huge, heavy, long, tall, Wasnt stable at speed, 120 mph it was moving around and wobbling some. A 1290 might be better on road but otherwise, its awful big.
    I have 9 older speeding tickets that sit under my helmet at home, I dont want 160 HP at all, not even a little on road or off.
    A ticket for wheelies in the US? Is over 1300.00. For one wheelie. Keep it in mind, 2 points on record.

    Depending on your riding skills, both bikes in this video are designed for completely different riding terrain. I use my 2023 KTM 350 EXC-F for difficult and technical riding and my 2017 KTM 1090 R for fast pavement rides to less technical off-road trails. From my experience, having two bikes is a minimum to cover all the different styles of riding. Great video, thanks for sharing!

    Hi, Smokey, Belarus is exposed here:
    $22,356 for 890R
    $30,485 for SAR 😭
    A month ago I bought a 390 Adv for about $10,000 from a dealership. I think it's better to visit Poland, buy a bike there, and then return VAT taxes or buy without them if this option is possible at a dealership.
