Ktm 1090 Adventure
The Ktm 1090 Adventure has a top speed of 210 km/h (estimated), produces 125 hp and weighs 229 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
La KTM 1090 Adventure a été introduite en 2017 en tant que successeur à cylindrée moyenne de la 1050 Adventure, se situant derrière la 1290 Super Adventure, produit phare de la gamme KTM. Il était propulsé par un moteur bicylindre parallèle LC8 raffiné de 1050 cm3 alésé à 1090 cm3, offrant un équilibre entre confort de randonnée et capacités tout-terrain. Le modèle a été abandonné après 2019 lorsque KTM a restructuré sa gamme Adventure, en la remplaçant par les variantes 790 Adventure et 1190 Adventure.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
LC8 Engine Reliability
The 1090's parallel-twin LC8 engine is widely regarded as one of KTM's most refined and durable motors. With proper maintenance intervals, many owners report 60,000+ trouble-free miles.
Watch the Throttle Bodies
A known issue on the 1090 is throttle body sync falling out of adjustment, causing rough idle or hesitation. Budget for periodic throttle body synchronization, especially on higher-mileage examples.
Strong Resale Value
The 1090 Adventure holds its value better than many competitors due to its short production run (2017–2018) and cult following among adventure riders. A well-maintained example rarely sits unsold for long.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"Brilliant adventure bike — but budget for a thorough pre-purchase inspection."
$7,500-$11,000 usedThe 1090 Adventure sits in a sweet spot KTM rarely hits — genuinely capable off-road without being a complete handful on the tarmac. That LC8 parallel-twin pulls hard from 3,000rpm and never feels lazy on the motorway. The suspension is properly sorted from the factory, which isn't something you can always say about this class. Buy one with the WP semi-active setup if you can find it. Here's the honest bit though — these bikes have a checkered reliability history. Check the throttle bodies obsessively, look for any fuel pump warnings in the service history, and run the VIN for any outstanding recalls. The electrical gremlins are real. A well-maintained example with stamped service books from a dealer is worth paying a premium for. Ignore the Facebook heroes telling you they never need maintenance. Prices have stabilised nicely now, and you can grab a solid 2017-2018 example for sensible money. It's still one of the most exciting adventure bikes to actually ride, just go in with your eyes open.
