This is the adventure motorcycle of your collective dreams. On paper, anyway. A shade under 80 horsepower, 340 pounds with a full fuel tank, and a base price of $13,400. Plus, a six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU), ride modes, fully adjustable ABS, 10 inches of ground clearance, and nearly 200 miles of range. What’s the catch?
Well, it’s not really an adventure bike, per se. Maybe you’re thinking that doesn’t matter to you, but it probably does and I’ll explain why. It’s also not really new. KTM’s 690 Enduro R debuted as a 2008 model. Maybe that’s a feature, more than a catch?
