oh yes. They don’t lean like a motorcycle, but they also aren’t stable like an atv. You turn them like an atv, by spinning the rear, only without two wheels up front they tend to roll....easily.
Absolutely not. Read more

Fair, but I expect the ADV version to make the same/more power than the Africa Twin, be lighter, and better off road and on. If it comes in around 14k, it’ll be a real winner. Read more
KTM’s are sort of an acquired taste. Like, you ride them and realize how different they are and, if you’re into it, you’re glad they also look different. I still assume I’ll love anyone I see on a 990 SMT, just by their bike choice. Read more
I’m trying. Really, really hard. Read more

I don’t totally disagree, and have long wished for something like that, but I think this will hit a sweet spot. The Monster 821 has such a perfect motor in it. Comfy for longer distances, tons of power to play in, but you’re never nervous about getting on the gas. Read more

This was my thought. The AT is the only big adventure bike I’d want to be in the dirt in now, and this is the only thing that could/would touch that. Read more
It’s hard to say. If they really do hit that 100-110 hp range and make it ready to race, it might be a lot to handle. If it’s more like the BMW, you;d be just fine. Either way the ADV version would probably be just perfect, but a 890 Duke R might be really sporty. Read more
Given that there were also talks about a 500 cc twin at some point too, I really hope this is closer to 900 cc. Read more
I don’t see them doing that, but they certainly could with a motor like this. Read more
I spent some good time with the KTM USA guys this weekend and I expect that to change. They just hired Chris Fillmore to come on to focus on their marketing efforts purely on the street side as they begin to push that side of their offerings more. Read more
