I've heard of the reputation of the KTM, but nothing substantial. People who have them seem to love them.
From personal experience, if you have never ridden one of the KTM 300 2-strokes, you are missing out.

I just went and looked up that superduke that somebody mentioned... I experienced all sorts of feelings and emotions.... I leave you now to change my pants.

I've yet to hear a reviewer comment on oil changes on the new 1190 Adventure. Hopefully it's no longer a 5-hour ordeal. We'll have to wait until MCN gives us the straight dope.Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE smartphone

--I agree with the comments about taking CR reviews with a grain of salt. CR relies on its members to voluntarily fill out the surveys. I'm a subscriber, but I don't take the time to fill out the surveys. In a way, the CR survey is similar to the instant polls that you see on the Web sites of newspapers and television stations.If you want to be methodologically rigorous, you would need a scientific random survey with an adequate sample size to reduce the margin of error to an acceptable level of (a) all owners and (b) all dealers/service shops, whether franchised or independent. And somehow you would need to adjust the results for the fact that an owner and a dealer/service shop may have differing views of a problem with a bike. You also would have to break the issues down into the specifics: mileage, year, model, engine, transmission, electrical, etc. Only then would you would be approaching a truer picture of reliability. But no one wants to pay the money to undertake such a research project.DanFrom: emrat@googlegroups.com [mailto:emrat@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Manuel Baca
