KTM’s product plan for the next few years, inadvertently leaked at a recent dealer meeting, listed not one but two new large-displacement enduro models that will carry the Adventure nameplate. The first, dubbed the 1090 Adventure R, is expected to appear in late 2012 as a 2013 model. This will essentially be a stop-gap model based on the existing 990, with increased displacement, higher-spec components and updated styling. The second new bike, called the 1290 Adventure, is due one year later as a 2014 model. The bike you see here, which appears entirely unrelated to the existing production model, is thought to be that machine. READ ON

A: We don’t know, because KTM stopped importing the 125SX to the USA four years ago. Still, we know that KTM has made quantum leaps forward since 2008. 

Q: WHY IS THE KTM 125SX BACK?  

A: When KTM debuted the original KTM 144SX in 2008, its sales quickly eclipsed those of the 2008 125SX.

KTM is a relatively small motorcycle outfit that is based out of Mattighofen in Austria and despite their small size and specialised, usually off-road, motorcycles, they have quite the reputation.
