I don't think anyone mentioned it because it's not modern nor is it fuel injected which were two of your original requirements.

Lengthy response but it might help you... 28" inseam 33.1" seat height A gap of 5" isn't thaaat bad. I'm 5'8 and have a 30" inseam and have owned up to almost 38" seat height bikes and ride them in heavy downtown traffic everyday all year round and go off-roading on it as well (where a...

Saw a Duke parked in a very conspicuous spot downtown earlier today with snow on it. Sweet!

Always ride "defensively". From what I've seen, cagers don't notice you at all regardless of the season. The date doesn't matter. From my limited experience, what does happen though in winter when there are almost no bikes on the road, is that cagers do not drive as quickly and are...

Unfortunately the ABS dongle needs to be purchased separately. It is an KTM Power Parts piece meaning that you can get it via any KTM dealership. Well by any I mean by any I mean show up armed with the part #. For 2014 and 2015, the KTM part # is 60312953000 Double check with the...

Fellow 14+ 690R owner here. You may soon find that - you paid an awful lot for this bike - riding a slow(er) bike quickly is more fun than riding a fast(er) bike slowly - owning a bike that is seemingly engineered to maximize fun at legal speeds makes perfect sense - the bike is a real handful...

Schuberth C3 here. This helmet rocks on the highway as it is very quiet. It's also my go to winter helmet. The tight sealing neck gasket that keeps it quiet also keeps cold air from coming up into the helmet. The helmet itself is toasty down to any temperature you care to ride at... the...

What's worse than getting a parking ticket you deserved? Getting one you didn't deserve of course! Here's my story today. I parked with my back wheel up against a curb like everyone else does. As I park, there is a fire hydrant to my left about 15 ft away but I'm not worried because...

VIN characters/numbers 1, 2, 11 tell the story you are looking for. Interpreting the data is easy for numbers 1 and 2 with some online searches. I haven't been able to find any free services that will help one to deobfuscate character #11 All the resources seem to be car-centric This...

To the OP, getting street registration on a blue plated bike after lapsed plates should be the identical to doing the same to a neglected car. The plate stickers expire. The ownership/registration doesn't. I've no experience in this matter but I have read that some MTO offices may allow...

Marketing must be quite different there. Check out the super sketchy non adjustable suspension blending its special sauce at 21 seconds. Looks like the rear wheel is dancing sideways due to an impromtu trampoline session https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTQlmRNmRRg At least they're being...

He's an associate of Alex Roy. Wonder where he got this crazy idea from? :D Here's the documentary trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaeMC1B713k

Sounds like Romaniacs. Too hardcore for me. Kudos to those of you who can do these multi day races.

And the 701 has no tachometer! Is the 701's anti hop clutch the same as the 690E's slipper clutch?

If it's the 701, I'd expect it to be more or less in line with the cost of the KTM 690 Enduro. MSRP was around 12K for that.

Trakmasters are ok. I find the knobs are squirmy on hot summer pavement regardless of PSI but they do great on sand and the loose stuff. Aired right down, I got stuck in deep frozen corn snow a few times with them so I wouldn't recommend them for that. Not sure if any other non studded...

I have a KTM 690 Enduro. It doesn't do anything particularly well but it does some of everything. It can commute, gobble up highway kms without too much discomfort for a bike like this, singletrack, doubletrack, jumps, stairs, drops, can be easily picked multiple times, manage crushing...

Even the most powerful supermotos in the world can't keep up with a 600 supersport at highway speeds. I think your first step is to realize that it's not going to be about outright speed. It's more about the quality of the interactive experience. Haven't heard of any catastrophic 2014+ KTM...

For those that have used both, which is more effective between a heated visor and a double pane face shield for -20 and below? My pinlocked Schuberth C3 is only good down to -17 before it starts turning into a sheet of ice.
