looks like soooo many other adv bikes on the market. Hope they sell like hot cakes so KTM can get on with the bike everyone wants from them....the 690 adventure.

Considering Adventure bikes look like shit, they do appear to have made a effort. I don't think I could ever love one.

Part of 'The Motorcycle Appeal' has always been visual with me. I am not happy with the way many designs are going.



Buy what you like and ignore internet comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not at all, every time Brett gets on here some wanker or collection of wankers gives him shit about his spelling & punctuation. As someone who knows him it pisses me too.

I think it's fucken sexual and I'd love to be in a position to put my name on one myself.

I'd also like to think there's more than 7 on the way due to the level of interest. You may be right though, as I don't have any customers keen to put a deposit down until at least a price is confirmed.

Can I have a ride on yours please 1KTM? :)

Considering Adventure bikes look like shitThere's no point looking 'horn' if you're functionally incompetent.

Adventure bikes are more Estrella Navarro (http://www.estrellanavarro.com) than Paris Hilton.

i was reading in some mag that it is more road bias and less off road bias than the 990/950's

Very nice bike. My neighbour has one. Uses the same ECU as my Tiger. Tune ECU is free software and well worth a look, once you are up and running.

Good luck :yes:

touché. I'll wait to see what the 800 looks like thanks. Haven ridden a 950 more power, especially the way a KTM delivers it, is not a good thing for an ADV ride. Not sure if the 1190R is heavier or not but obviously that won't help either.

Now if we are talking about a competitor to the BWM GS, the new S10, etc i.e. a road bike (did I say that out loud :shutup:) then looks awesome.

It would be a great mount for the "Dusty Butt" NOT!!!!!

In my humble opinion we "Adventure Riders" don't need more hp in the way of cc's give me Torque:yes:

It looks gorgeous. Unfort with my limited riding skills i could never use that power, my 990 has way more power than I ever use.

Can't wait to see one though.

For a big fat bike I quite like it. Looks the part. I'd never be able to ride it though being such a short arse. I stood beside a Superenduro once, and all my dreams were shattered. Bloody thing was way up past my waist.
