2004 KTM 950 Adventure: Welcome to the stable!







The KTM 950 Adventure is a dual-sport motorcycle that was produced in Austria by KTM.


It’s powered by a liquid cooled, four-stroke, DOHC 942 CC, 75° V-twin engine, producing around 102 HP. It goes 130 MPH without any effort. It was designed for the grueling terrain of the Dakar...and handily won on its very first try in 2002.

Blah, blah, blah..

But why am I listing the attributes of a 2004 KTM? Well, let’s just say a friend made me an offer I couldn’t refuse and it’s now a recent addition to the stable.


To answer your—and my wife’s—question: No, I haven’t yet decided which—if any—of my other bikes will have to go. Yes, I know. It’s a sickness.

  1. Fun!!

    As long as you have room in the garage hopefully one won't have to go. We are limited by our 1 car garage that has 3.5 bikes squeezed into it plus laundry facilities. Probably a good thing we are limited.

  2. Good on ya, Man. Understand that the seat will feel like riding on an ironing board in an era of permanent press, but other than that - GREAT acquisition. Congrats! Enjoy!
