NESR Price: SOLD
After nearly 7 years, I've finally decided to sell my beloved 2015 KTM 1290 Super Adventure. The bike has just over 55k miles and will continue to gain mileage slowly as I commute with it (~25 miles per day).
This bike has been well cared for and maintained, but has also seen plenty of adventure use, including lots of riding on dirt/mud, a few drops here and there over the years (always at low speed or near stationary) and it has some scratches to prove it. It’s not pristine (and could use a thorough cleaning!), but it’s still in great condition and should go another 50k miles easily. Everything works on the bike as it should.
I’ve done nearly all the maintenance myself except for the early on warranty work. All warranty work has been performed. The bike has been well cared for and has always had the maintenance it requires, having never deferred. It’s treated me well, so I treat it well in return.
I have the title in hand. Both keys are included, as well as the orange programming key. Aside from the modifications listed below, I still have most of the OEM parts (like exhaust and shock spring), and an assortment of misc maintenance parts (swingarm bearing kit, spare TPMS sensor, spare ABS sensor, bolts/screws/nuts, grommets, etc) I will include. I also have a few take-off tires with decent tread left you can have for free. The pictured tank bag is not included.

Best motor i've ever had. It's a hotrod. 160hp, 103 lb-ft, 10,000+ rpm twin.
Super sick bike

For the hoons at heart out there, 4th gear power wheelies over crests are stupid easy and frequent on this bike. This is the only bike that's ever had me giggle like a little girl in my helmet at how raucous and playful it is. And when you want to keep it tame and sedate, it's happy just acting like a V-Strom, with excellent fueling at any RPM for just putting around.
The 1290 is easily the best jack-of-all-trades bike out there today.
