KTM 790 Adventure R - The middleweight adventure bike market is a crowded and competitive place. Lower weight and smaller dimensions are attractive assets if you are intending to venture a little further away from the tarmac. Most adventure bikes get pigeonholed into either being road-focused or off road focused. The KTM 790 Adventure R definitely gets put in the latter category. But with its plush, premium suspension, and extra kit, does it make for a better all-around machine than its cheaper standard 790 adventure sibling? In this first impression ride, I'll look at the things which may just convince you that this is not just a motorcycle for off-road dirt nuts.
