Why I need an 1190 R


Recommended Posts

That XR350R was ahead of it's time but too over engineered for the average man. With dual carbs and headers, 8 rocker arms, 4 valves and only one piston, went like hell with it's short stroke over bored motor with brakes from a moped but it never grew into a KTM ! I traded mine for an 82 KTM 495 and kept the 200 version

For Sure!

I was a medium sized 16 year old kid and I tell ya, that XR was a BIG bike for me to muscle around for 3hour Hare Scrambles and the occasional Motocross! My comparo was more about the size of that beast to me then and now being a slightly overstuffed old guy, now the new 1190R feels big! What's going to happen when I grow up?!
