    Yet another dual sport bikes that requires the installation of a potentially expensive, larger gas tank for any real adventure in the outback. When will these manufacturers ever learn?

    • stinkywheels says:

      Potentially? That underseat tank makes it virtually impossible. I like/love these bikes but know better than to buy one. It makes it especially troubling since I ride with the local KTM staff and won’t even ride one despite the offer because it’s like a lovable blind shelter dog, no matter how much you like it, you’d better not take it home.

    • Paul says:

      This bike gets upwards of 70mpg in real world usage. That’s almost double my 640 ADV. The tank is big enough, all things considered. If not, use fuel bladders.

  2. ed says:

    what is “roll over protection” in an offroad motorcycle?

  3. Tony says:

    So does this the second balance shaft like the 690 Duke?
