TEWKS Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 My favorite color in a KTM http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/2012-ktm-990-adventure.1207021/ Looks like a sign-in is needed. I've never ridden any of the big KTM Adventure Bikes which is probably a good thing. Ad For sale is my 2012 990 Adventure. 25,600 miles, excellent condition. I bought the bike in Knoxville and did a fly and ride home to where the bike is now located in central Florida. Did a few rides and then rode it to Salt Lake City and back in summer 2015. It has only been ridden occasionally on a few short trips since then. Asking $9500. It's possible I could take a trade but probably not, lol. Bike includes: •Oxford heated grips •Touratech GPS mount adapter •SW-Motech Quick-lok EVO side case racks (bags not included) •KTM Hard Parts radiator guard •Adventure Machines auxiliary fan kit •Rekluse Clutch and slave cylinder. (clutch is not currently installed) •Headlight protector •CJ Designs transparent clutch cover (stock included) •FMF Q4 exhaust •Black Dog Cycle Works rear rack Recent suspension service, new chain and sprockets and clutch basket. More pictures can be seen at: http://s297.photobucket.com/user/singletracker/library/2012 KTM 990 Adventure Located in central Florida but I may be able to assist in delivery, or you can do a fly & ride.

Green RT Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Unobtainium Is the price a misprint or has the Canadian dollar fallen a lot recently? Link to comment
Dennis Andress Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Google says one Canadian dollar equals .75 U.S. Dollars. Making that bike $25740.45. Hence, it's Unobtainium. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 I'd love to have this 2009 XR1200 so, it could be transformed into this! Pat Link to comment
Bud Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Google says one Canadian dollar equals .75 U.S. Dollars. Making that bike $25740.45. Hence, it's Unobtainium. Canada is on sale now. We enjoyed the favorable exchange rate twice in the last 12 months. Once with our Grands in Vancouver and then our 3 week boating adventure to Desolation Sound. It's all good! Go now, go cheap, help our friends to the north! Link to comment

Bud Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 4 reasons I couldn't own that bike. 1. Speeding ticket 2. Speeding ticket 3. Speeding ticket 4. Loss of license. Link to comment
Dennis Andress Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I never got a ticket on my K13S. It was easy to ride well. As long as you're okay with "well" being north of 80 mph. Yeah, I was forever the student, but that bike was very good. Link to comment
Bud Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I've gotten speeding tickets on bikes with much less performance. I have a "right wrist" disorder. Link to comment

tallman Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Wonder if that is dirt, or, more likely, the windscreen issues from back around then? New screen and mirror not that bad. Link to comment
Lone_RT_rider Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Wonder if that is dirt, or, more likely, the windscreen issues from back around then? New screen and mirror not that bad. For a couple of grand more, you can pick up a 2005 or newer KLT. From what I recall, they made some big changes in 2005 that affected suspension and low speed manueverability. It might be worth the extra cash....... not that I have ever thought about doing such a thing. Link to comment
tallman Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Electric bugaloo centerstand came along also w changes in seating ergos etc as you mention. But the centerstand rocks. Link to comment
Dennis Andress Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 But the centerstand rocks. Until the battery dies, in the front of your garage, in the dead of winter. Link to comment
eddd Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 One of the bikes that had my interest back in the day. It was the first bike with a factory six speed. $650 new...$5000 used. link Link to comment

Dave_zoom_zoom Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I sure pity the forks on that trike. Dave Link to comment
Green RT Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I sure pity the forks on that trike. Dave Agreed. In addition to the extreme rake, the trail is pretty extreme. But what struck me were the handlebars. How far to the side do you have to hang off to get around a tight corner in a parking lot or city street. Link to comment
Bud Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 The pool of prospective buyers for something like this has to be minuscule. You've not been to the infield at Talladega have you? Wonder on how it would handle the track banking at Talladega? Link to comment
Paul De Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Yet Another Panhead (YAP) Breaks my heart to see this photo. In high school (mid 70s) a classmate inherited one in the same colors from an uncle who had passed away. He turned it into a chopper even though all who saw the bike begged him to leave it stock. He butchered the job and it looked terrible. Then he crashed it into scrap iron. That bike was too cool in stock trim. All the cables had Black/white spiral covers and OEM leather side bags.

walton66 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 From from the late 60s until 85 I lived on the western edge of Vegas. We used to hike, ride bikes, party out there. Beautiful. Now the /7, very nice. I had a 1976 r90/6 back then, eventually adding an S fairing. A buddy had, as I recall, an R75/7 with a fairing like the one in the photo. Link to comment
T.M. Roe Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I lived just outside of Blue Diamond. Some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. Link to comment
