KTM 690 Supermoto - Looking for interest

[Devil]

One owner, '07 model, but first registered June/July '08.
5,000km service intervals. 16,000km service completed. Added 15t front sprocket (down 1 tooth). All receipts available. Will have new WOF and rego.

Brembo brakes front and rear (standard equipment)
Braided lines (standard equipment)
WP shocks front and rear (standard equipment)

Comes with genuine KTM accessories:
- Hand guards
- Touring screen (easily removable).
- 690 model specific tank bag, black with KTM orange seams (one of the nicest i've seen).
- Two COMPLETE sets of KTM plastics. One orange with decals, the other completely black with no decals (currently fitted).

Other stuff:
Swingarm bobbins.
Michelin Pilot Road 2's.
Philips +50% headlight bulb.
Ventura Pack rack.
Oxford heated grips (removable velcro type)

Fantastic bike. The 690 engine is KTM's most reliable engine yet. Valves didn't need adjusting. Seat is entirely acceptable for a motard. Spending a day on the coro loop is no problem.
Bike uses sod all gas. I've never been able to get it BELOW 20km/L.

I'll take it! Would look good in the garage :shifty:




Oh waiiit.... ;)

[Devil]

Forgot. It's also got a Ventura pack rack.

[Devil]

Oh... and removeable heated grips.

[AlBundy]

Say it isn't so!

I can vouch for fuel economy... Ridden at legal speeds, almost 24km/l, thrashed, still more than 20km/l... Oh, that's on mine, lol...

Funky exhaust

[vifferman]

It sounds perfect, and you still sound enamoured with it.
So why are you thinking of selling it after such a short time?

[Devil]

It is absolutely fantastic and a barrel of laughs.
But i'm heading in another direction. The racetrack and the dirt tracks.
So essentially a track 600 (or F3 SV) and most likely a Suzuki DR-Z400E for communting and trail riding.

You could always race the KTM- BEARS and motards:yes: Or is its dollar value a tad high to risk it?

Yeah, more than i'd want to have to worry about on the track!

[Gremlin]

Silly boy... grow some balls, and man up to own the KTM!!!

Just think, all that grief selling the sv etc, and now you want to go back within 6 months :weird:

Oh, mine now has more km on it than yours... :ride:

For potential buyers, he looks after it far more than he should. Its a ktm and its cleaned probably once a week? It was even more ridiculous when he first had it. Horribly clean just about permanently.

*bumpy bump*

*cough* more like twice a week *cough*. If he could get away with it, I do think he'd keep safe and warm inside ;)

[Devil]

[Devil]

Come on people, this is a fantastic toy at a good price.

[Devil]

[Devil]

[Devil]

Good value bike here. Will be freshly serviced.
Buy It!

[Devil]

Bike has been serviced. Has new tyres. Updated k's and price.

[Mully]

Send it to Frosty

and then someone not a million miles away from Frosty can "test-ride" it.

[Devil]

Dooo do doo dooo...

[Devil]

New toy in my sights. Come on people. :banana:

[Quasievil]

hey bro, dont get excited but what KMs do you get out of a tank on this ?

[Devil]

13.5 litre tank.
Fuel light comes on after 11 Litres used.
Round town (daily commute) 240km on 11 Litres.
Open road 275km on 11 litres. (115km/h on speedo).
So technically akl to taupo on 12 litres (300km).

I couldn't believe how good on gas it was.
Albundy gets the same sort of mileage on his 690, so it's not just me.

FYI apparently 690 enduro 21" front wheel fits on it too.

Now that is interesting !

[Gremlin]

If you want an economical one, or one that can actually do touring distances... the 690SM is it.

To balance its thrifty fuel consumption, its big brother, the 990SM simply abuses it... :mad:

Yes I do possibly want one but sadly I need trade in opportunity as I can sell the motard :(

[Devil]

I might be finding myself in the situation of having two bikes shortly. :doctor: Oops heh. KTM still for sale.
