But have you seen the price?
Sorry no It looks nice though. Clever new clutchless gearbox apparently.
790 Adventure will be way better value. Sounded good on the vid....

Re: KTM 790 Adventure
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.

Re: KTM 790 Adventure
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.

Re: KTM 790 Adventure
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 .

Re: KTM 790 Adventure
That's a nice looking bike. Single swingarm on a bike with panniers never looks quite right though.

Re: KTM 790 Adventure
Must say - That looks the dog's danglies - Proper dual purpose bike, which most don't seem to be.

Re: KTM 790 Adventure
could seriously be tempted by something like this so I could get my off road kicks.....
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

Re: KTM 790 Adventure
that's massively over-priced in my opinion. You can get either of the 1090s for less.
