I visited the annual Brussels car/motorcycleshow last Saturday (17th of January 2015) and after checking out the new KTM 1290 Adventure, I asked one of the KTM-people there if it was possible to install the cruise control of the 1290 on the 1190 Adv.
The KTM-guy didn’t know, so he went asking his superior, a nice KTM-lady. She said she couldn’t give me an answer right away, but she would get in touch with her Mattighofen-colleagues on Monday (19th January 2015).
I gave her my phonenumber and yes she called me back yesterday!
She said that if the demand for a cruise control on the 1190 adventure was big enough, KTM will consider to put a cruise control in their Powerparts-catalogue. They will have a meeting about the powerparts in april 2015.
That’s what she told me so this could be interesting for a lot of KTM 1190 ADV riders !
I think it would be a great idea to join forces and let the “Orange People” in Austria know we want that cruise control on our bikes!
Who is in for this?
