KTM 1290 Super Adventure Engine. Something that does feel the same as 990 is the very light, almost too light, shift action of the six-speed gearbox. It is a little more positive than the 990

The KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE R relies on the new Euro 5-ready LC8 that is now 1.6 kg lighter and froths out 160 hp at 9,000 rpm and 138 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm for the best power-to-weight offering in the segment. KTM has combed through the internals of the V-Twin powerplant to improve heat dissipation and shave grams in the quest for
The geometry, frame and single swing arm are the same as the R whereas the technology has been inherited from the Super Adventure. All three bikes share the same engine – the LC8, 1301cc V-Twin – though the fuel mapping is bike specific as are the power outputs with the Super Adventure, GT and R producing 160, 173 and 180bhp respectively. It's not an oil level warning, it's an oil pressure warning, and unfortunately it's usually too late by the time it comes on.

Fuel economy seems slightly better on a GS The GS is a little more around town friendly. Parts are cheaper on the GS and it is much easier to work on. (2 of the spark plugs on the SA are $80 each) The SA is very tall. A lot of my friends simply can't ride it. I don't do any off road, but I would feel a little safer on the GS.
