KTM’s World Adventure Week (WAW)is just around the corner, with the challenge of riding 1,000km in a single week. 

The goal? To be one of the precious few to ‘live a once in a lifetime KTM experience’ – and that experience will purportedly involve testing brand new KTM machinery out in an adventure-focused setting. 

We gusta.

“The first five finalists drawn will win a VIP and all expenses paid invitation to join a pure KTM riding activity, where they will get to test the next generation of KTM ADVENTURE machinery in pure Adventure conditions,” states Superbike News

“The special event will take place in Europe and during the second half of the year. A sixth and final spot will be given to the rider with the greatest number of kilometers completed during the week.”

Regardless, anybody that completes the 1,000km (or more) for WAW will purportedly get a personalized reward from the brand herself – you’ve got precious little to lose, and so much to gain in the camaraderie that an event like this inspires.
