Loois offer for the 1190 is not attarctive at all. DW's offer still the best.

 

For either full cash or installment.

All bike shops will cap for COE, you can place a deposit but you might not get it.

Hopefully DW will have some promo to counter e rise in coe..

Can owners of ADV1190 tell whether this bike is suitable for a 1.7m tall rider like me? Can both feet flatly touches the ground?

Hi Redzwan, I would strongly suggest that you go down to DW to have a test ride, and you have a better feel of the height. Unless you're more than 1.8m or very heavy, most of the adventure bike do not let you have both feet flat on ground.

Yup, test ridden. For me my feet almost touch but not 100%. Wondering if e bike can still go lower. What about for ur case? Urs is R or non-R?

There are 2 positions underneath the seat which you can set, one give you a seat height of 860mm and the other 875mm. You can check out Touratech seat. I think they sell one that is slightly lower than the stock seat. Mine is a non-R. I'm 1.75m and is tip-toeing.

Hi all. I'm thinking of getting the 1190. Does it come in base model or is there any top box and side box included?

Hello guys.

 

I would like to ask on behalf of one of my friend.

If a gold wing is priced at 7.5k how many years will it be left usually?

Most probably more then 10 years I know. Roughly what plate will it be?

[jmtank]

Opps. Wrong post. Sorry.

[motomuppet]

I'm 1.77m and can only get one foot down flat at a time on the 1190 R or I tiptoe just on both. Good for building up my balance skills!

I'm 1.74m and when I balanced the R upright, my 2 feet are dangling in the air. I'm kinda glad I've chosen the std 1190. Moreover, if I'm tall enough, the R will be my choice.

Thank you.

Thought I add something for people who maybe interested in the 1190Adv.

 

Tested the 1190. What a bike! Power is good even in rain mode. Very easy to manourve in low speeds which I liked. I didn't feel much engine braking which was weird to me given the power of the bike. I like the settings and buttons, very easy to operate even for a first timer.

 

Now the heat. I expect some heat given the slow speeds around the test route and our climate. The heat from under the seat is bearable but not the heat from the front header. It was burning up on my right shin area. I purposely wore bermudas by the way. I may buy if not for the crazy COE price!

U mean u encountered this thing while testriding the demo bike? Might be heat issues solved on the 2014 model?

Another thing I want to add is the bike dives too much under hard braking which made me feel like I was on my ex DR650. It was set to 1 rider and 1 bag. I grabbed the front brake to test the ABS and the front dived and I didn't like that. The ABS was great though. I would add some more front spring preload if I had my own.

Heat from exhaust header just above foot-pad, same for all 1190 models.

 

However on the 2014 1190, there is heat shield underseat (bigger for non-R and slightly smaller on R due to different seat design)

Hi all.

 

I have been a lurker in this particular thread for quite some time. I finally had the balls to book a test ride for the Adv 1190 from DW (Not the R model). I say balls because I knew the desires would be stronger once I took it for a ride. And daayyum!

 

"Uncle" Richard of DW is one helluva character. he made the test ride a breeze and a totally obligatory-free affair. Many ups to him. Anyway back to the bike itself, perhaps its best if I lay down the hotta and the notta in point form.

 

HOT:

- I took it off the main stand and it was a breeze. I used to ride an FJR and of course its not apple to apple but that damn Adv is light.

- Perfect ergos. Bars just wide enough, yet not too high to impede on sporty riding.

- I love scrolling through the menu functions. Intuitive buttons.

- It was my first time riding a v-twin (or any dual cylinder for the matter) and I underestimated its low-down torque. I think the yelling went along the lines of "Siol ah!" (matrep). Thats what you get when you've been riding four cylinders for the last 9 years. That engine pulls (your neck) hard.

- The bike handles and corners PRETTY close to that of a road-going bike. Considering its a 19" up front, I didn't notice like it was, esp taking that sharp right hand turn off SAFRA (if you know where I mean!). Perhaps the WP suspension is the real unsung hero of the bike.

- Gearbox was pretty slick. I have heard the horrors (ok an exaggeration) of continental bikes compared to the slick Japs, however this box doesn't feel clunky or gibberish or whatever the angmohs always complain. The clutch was great too, light on your pcc hand.

 

NOT:

- The turn signal button is erm how shall i put it, pretty tight. I could barely feel the feedback through my fingers, didnt know whether I hit the signals not. This was without riding gloves on, I can only imagine what its like with them on.

- There were some engine heat as the whole world has been complaining about, but c'mon its a giant trailie, you'd expect a dragon to breathe out fire not puke. Again this was not MUCH of an issue for me but not all of us handle heat well

 

This is just a mini rant and purely my opinion. It is a wonderful bike. of course I rode the bike in isolation and have yet to try the rivals in the class. But then again, the thing with bikes is once you know, you know. You know. Its something I will probably keep for quite the long term.

 

Many thanks to the vibrant Uncle Richard for the test ride. Now I gotta get back to coaxing the missus....
