Ktm Adventure 1050
The Ktm Adventure 1050 has a top speed of 210 km/h (estimated; note: manufacturer did not officially publish a top speed figure), produces 95 hp and weighs 218 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
A KTM 1050 Adventure foi introduzida em 2015 como uma alternativa mais acessível e de peso médio ao carro-chefe 1190 Adventure, compartilhando a mesma plataforma LC8 V-twin, mas com um motor desajustado para um público mais amplo. Ela foi posicionada como uma versátil motocicleta de longa distância com capacidade off-road genuína, preenchendo a lacuna entre a 1190 e as motos de aventura menores. O modelo teve vida relativamente curta, pois a KTM o substituiu pelo 1090 Adventure em 2017, embora tenha ajudado a estabelecer a estratégia de linha de aventura de vários níveis da KTM.

O que os compradores devem saber
Watch the Throttle Body
The 1050 Adventure is known for occasional throttle body synchronization issues, causing rough idling or surging at low speeds. A simple dealer sync service usually resolves this quickly and cheaply.
Steeper Depreciation Curve
KTM Adventures typically depreciate faster than BMW GS rivals, meaning used buyers get strong value but sellers should expect lower resale returns. Budget for roughly 20-30% value drop in the first two years.
Surprisingly Versatile Engine
The 1050's LC8 parallel-twin delivers strong mid-range torque, making it more manageable on technical off-road terrain than its displacement suggests. It strikes a sweet spot between the smaller 990 and heavier 1190.

Avaliação do comprador usado
"A brilliant overlooked adventure bike that rewards patient, informed buyers."
$6,500-$9,500 usedThe 1050 Adventure sits in a weird KTM sweet spot — less brutish than the 1190, more capable than the 790, and chronically overlooked on the used market because of it. That LC8 parallel twin pulls hard from low revs and the chassis feels genuinely planted on long sweepers, but don't kid yourself thinking this is a budget 1290. It's its own machine with its own character. Here's what nobody tells you upfront: check the throttle bodies meticulously and ask for service history on the fuel system. The 1050 can develop rough idle issues that dealers wave away as 'normal.' It isn't. Also budget for new rubber immediately — previous owners frequently run these down to the carcass chasing highway miles. WP suspension is competent but harsh on the lower settings; learn to adjust it or you'll hate the bike. Buy a clean 2015-2017 example under 25,000 miles and you've got a genuinely fast, comfortable adventure machine that costs considerably less than its reputation deserves.
