They should put more off road focused tyres on the bike for the photos at least. Would make for a great learner bike. Or even a cheap adventure bike to accompany a sports bike in the shed.

Yeah, I bet it's a fun wee thing but a dirt focused version could be hilarious.

Kanny still has her KLE5hundy twin.
Para twins rock, especially down in the rev range when singles
start struggling with revs/hook up.

Lately there have been lots of photos appearing of what is reportedly a KTM 790 twin adventure bike.

And coming here, $8995. Wonder how popular it'll be compared to it's sportier siblings.
I note they specifically state in the brochure that it's not intended for off-road use, just for unpaved/rough roads.

Fucks sake - style it like that who would not take it for a back road cross country fang. Stupid fucking styling for the sake of a sale marketing arseholes if that is indeed the case.
Having said the above I see Ducati have released a Scrambler (desert or something) that is now designed for rougher treatment.
