The 1290 Super Adventure comes in two versions, the ‘S’ and ‘R’. This test bike is the ‘S’ and in a nutshell is the more street-biased of the two, with smaller 17in rear and 19in front cast wheels rather than spokes.
With a mind programmed from 42 years of riding experience on only two wheels, quite understandably it’s still taking me time to feel fully at home when rounding corners quickly on the Niken.
