Ktm Adventure 890
The Ktm Adventure 890 has a top speed of 210 km/h (estimated), produces 105 hp and weighs 208 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.
De KTM 890 Adventure werd in 2021 geïntroduceerd als een avontuurlijke tourer met een gemiddelde cilinderinhoud, gepositioneerd tussen de 790 Adventure en de grotere 1290 Super Adventure. Hij is gebouwd rond de verfijnde 889cc parallel-twin-motor, afgeleid van de 790, die meer vermogen en koppel biedt, en is ontworpen om rijders aan te spreken die op zoek zijn naar een veelzijdige, lichtgewicht avonturenfiets die zowel op de weg als op het terrein kan worden gebruikt. Het model kreeg al snel erkenning vanwege zijn uitstekende balans tussen prestaties, bediening en toegankelijkheid, en kreeg sterke recensies als een van de beste middengewicht avontuurlijke motorfietsen op de markt.

Wat kopers moeten weten
LC8c Engine Reliability
The 889cc parallel-twin engine is generally regarded as reliable, but early 2021-2022 models had reported issues with the throttle body and fueling that KTM addressed via software updates — always verify the ECU has been updated before buying used.
Steep Depreciation Curve
The 890 Adventure depreciates faster than Japanese rivals like the Honda Africa Twin, often losing 20-30% of value within the first two years, making used examples an excellent value buy for savvy shoppers.
WP Suspension Stands Out
The R variant features fully adjustable WP XPLOR suspension with 220mm of travel — a rare feature at this price point that gives it genuine off-road capability most competitors can't match without expensive upgrades.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"Buy a clean history example and you'll rarely want anything else."
$8,500-$12,500 usedThe 890 Adventure hits a sweet spot that bigger GS-fighters often miss — it's genuinely flickable through tight singletrack yet composed enough for proper long-haul touring. That parallel twin pulls hard from 3,500rpm and the WP suspension, once you dial it for your weight, is genuinely excellent. Used examples from 2021-2023 represent serious value right now as the market softened post-pandemic. But go in with eyes open. The orange glow of KTM reliability paranoia is real here. Check the throttle body connections — they corrode and cause gremlins. The chain and sprockets eat themselves if previous owners neglected lubing duty on gravel roads. Pull the seat and inspect the airbox area for mud packing, which kills battery connections. Service history is non-negotiable on these; a mystery-history bike isn't worth the gamble. Get one with the R suspension package if you can, skip the base. Budget £500 for a proper service, guards, and hand protection regardless of how clean it looks. Sorted ones are genuinely brilliant machines.
