Europe Trip with the KTM 990 Adventure S

We have just completed our trip throughout 6 countries. GREECE, ITALY, AUSTRIA, POLAND, CZECH REP, GERMANY. Around 4500km, wonderful time and the bike exceeded my ambitions. More information on this to come shortly... 

KTM 990 Adventure S, loaded up for the trip.

Extra touring parts include: Side Gobi cases, Tank bag, Extended carrier plate, KTM roll bag (with additional luggage secured on top), Garmin Nuvi 510 GPS with Touratech bracket, Touring windscreen, Touratech seat, and maybe the most important change I've made to the bike but cannot be seen in the pictures is the KTM PowerParts throttle cam (Using the #500). This cam has made the bike's throttle less responsive, improving it greatly in my opinion. Easier to drive off road, over bumps and of course on trips. It also improves fuel consumption.

Extended carrier plate from KTM-PowerParts.


It measures around 40cm at widest and 32 at narrowest side. It was worth every cent. In combination with the KTM roll-bag, loading and unloading is made easy and secure. Also it eliminates any contact the luggage had with the indicator lights.

Touratech GPS bracket for KTM 990 Adventure

Sweet bracket from Touratech. Lockable.
The GPS is the Garmin Nuvi 510. Waterproof and snowproof (as I recently found out :)
