1090 & 1290 Rs on the Hudson River

Finally got out on my brand new 2017 KTM 1090 Adventure R for a significant ride yesterday. I did about 160 miles with my dad in all conditions, from highway to twisties to mild dirt. This bike is exceptional at everything. On the road, it falls into corners like a sport bike and holds a line perfectly. The bike sits right down into its suspension in a corner and it totally confidence inspiring. On dirt it's an animal. The suspension is outstanding and the grip with the stock TKC80s is outstanding. Offroad mode is a blast as it lets me kick the back tires out around corners, but the traction control intervenes if I am pushing it out too far. On the highway, it hums along smoothly at speed with little vibration and a ton of power on tap. 

Everything about this bike has blown me away so far.
