The new KTM 1290 Adventure R was introduced to gravel roads. What a Beast! The electronic configuration options are endless but the true beauty comes out in its performance both on and off road. The Honda CRF1100 manual is a Beast too but with far fewer electronic configuration options and by no means a competitor for the KTM. However, it gives much more than what her owner can handle on a sunny day out in this mesmerizing landscape of South Africa.
