Sorry no :D It looks nice though. Clever new clutchless gearbox apparently.

790 Adventure will be way better value. Sounded good on the vid....

790 Adventure looks and sounds great. Lighter weight should be useful.

Hope they do a 790R roadbike though. That would be the dog's danglie bits.

The stock 790 is about 105 bhp. The 1090 Adventure is 125bhp so I reckon the 790 Adventure would be about 100bhp would be spot on as that puts into the Tracer/Tiger800/GS800 range.

The 1090 Adventure is on offer at the moment for £9,999, almost £1600 off. If the 790 is around the £8k mark it should sell well.

9999 buys alot of bike with the 1090 in a world on 20k+ sportsbikes.

I've just posted on the Tankslap Facebook page some updated details and photos. I'll transfer them over tonight when I'm at home.

It looks purposeful and sounds like it's high spec .

That's a nice looking bike. Single swingarm on a bike with panniers never looks quite right though.

Must say - That looks the dog's danglies - Proper dual purpose bike, which most don't seem to be.

that's massively over-priced in my opinion. You can get either of the 1090s for less.
