I think the topic is the difference between the Africa Twin and the KTM 1190 R. Not the merits of simple carbureted bikes vs newer KTM's, BMW's, S10's, Tiger's, Strom's, Multi's etc etc. #19
To get more power, KTM borrowed the cylinders, pistons and con rods from the 1290 Super Duke R, bumping the LC8 V-twin’s displacement from 1,195cc to 1,301cc with a 3mm larger bore and 2mmThe 75-degree LC8 V-twin excels in some areas, but lacks in others. If you like to live in the past and have never experienced anything other than a pushrod V-twin, I would highly suggest you step
Vs the Africa Twin: 1) Performance! The 1190's have 150 HP, will do 0-60 in 2.7 seconds, the 1/4 mile in 10.2 seconds and 155 mph. Granted we will likely not need that level of performance, but who would not want it??? The AT with 100 HP and 115 MPH top speed is likely adequate, but I was not hoping for adequate when I selected my dream bike.The WP cone-valve fork features precision parts and cone-valve damping technology with serious dirt-worthy damping performance.

On paper, the 1090 Adventure R would appear to have the advantage: Bigger engine (1050cc vs. 998cc), more power, Brembo brakes, larger fuel tank (6.5 gallons vs. 4.96 gallons) and that unmistakable KTM off-road prowess. But the Africa Twin costs significantly less ($13,299 for the standard transmission vs. $14,699), has more suspension travel
The legendary Africa Twin was discontinued in 2003, but remains a popular choice for Adventure Riders. Unfortunately, they never imported the Africa Twin to the US or Canada. Potential specs reported by Motorrad describe a new Africa Twin with a 1000cc Parallel-Twin instead of a V-Twin (apparently for cost saving purposes). Jalopniik/Lanesplitter just posted a review claiming the new Honda AT is better than KTM's big bikes off road .Now I don't gulp any brand's Kool-Aid, but I found this hard to believegranted, this is one rider's opinion and he did admit to being fairly inexperienced.
