I know there will be many that say they never had a problem with theirs but there are far too many that do. The motorcycle press seem to turn a blind eye to it too, can't miss out on the latest bike launch in sunny Sardinia! When you see one year old 1290 Super Adventure S's in the dealers you just know why. I've met two 1290 owners here who said never again.
Kick Till Monday
A friend of a riding buddy had a KTM that was fast and handled very well. I was on a ride with some buds and got separated from the group. I was flogging my Yamaha FJR 1300 trying to catch up. Turns out I had taken the wrong fork in the road. They sent the guy with the KTM to find me. He caught me before long, and when he did, he blew by me like a tornado and waved at me to stop.
