In little more than two decades, KTM has gone from being a niche maker of highly successful moto-cross and enduro machines to Europe's largest motorcycle manufacturer. Perhaps not surprisingly given its off-road heritage, the Austrian brand first made an impact in the 'Big Trailie' or 'Adventure' market, commencing with single-cylinder models in the early/mid-1990s before introducing its first twin-cylinder model, the 950 Adventure, in 2003. Powered by a 942cc water-cooled 8-valve 75-degree v-twin, the 950 Adventure boasted sharp, eye-catching styling and an off-road capability superior to that of the market-leading BMW R1200GS. Its successor, the broadly similar 990 Adventure, introduced in 2006, took its more powerful (105bhp claimed) 999cc fuel-injected engine from the crazy 990 Super Duke 'Hyper Naked'. ABS was standard.

Used often and serviced regularly since its acquisition in 2013 by its late (second) owner, this 990 Adventure has been dry-stored since August 2020 when the deceased passed away. Following a period of inactivity, the machine will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Noteworthy features include metallic paintwork, a Touratech sports seat, and Akrapovic silencers, and the machine also comes with Hepco & Becker KTM side cases. The Adventure also comes with its original KTM wallet/case containing the owner's manual; service booklet; expired MoTs and tax discs; current V5C document, etc.
