1090r KTM. The world's biggest dirtbike

I have owned my new 1090r for a few months now and after some mandatory mods I am blown away with this bike. Mods include black dog skid plate and stage 3 rottweiler intake. High fender. Rallye pegs and pro taper bars. Very impressive in the corners even with knobbies. In Stock form the bike felt a ...bit restricted until 5k rpm. The rot intake allows this engine to be very responsive and smooth at any rpm. My last trip included a lot of dirt and a lot of rocks. On the open fire trails this thing is a rocket. Turn off the tc and set abs to off road. Stand up and don't look back. Everything changes as soon as you stand up. Wide pegs are a must. At speed, off road the bike is very composed and very easy to maneuver. When I ended up on some mean rocky single track on accident is what impressed me the most. The suspension will eat up almost anything. Almost. There is a limit to a 500lb bike. But flying up some tough rocky single track the bike feels almost as capable as my 450. Awsome low end power. For the beating I gave my bike, I'm very impressed with the suspension and the abuse the rims can take. Though I did tear open my sidewall, I can't blame the bike for that one. A great all around bike that I would suggest to anybody... over 6 ft tall.

Fun and reasonably priced

I had this bike for one full year and put just under 6000km on it. Lots of power. Nimble and easy to handle on road. I'm still getting used to how it handles off road and in loose gravel. As with any bike its how you feel riding it and how you make it yours. I'm 6ft 9in. I added a taller seat, ber r...isers etc and love the feel and can ride all day without issue. Read Full Review

Too tall

If KTM built this bike to fit a normal sized American, I would own one right now. No way could I manage that bike as tall as the seat is. Its "value" to me is zero! Read Full Review
