..I'm hoping it's a disguise kit.

Re: ktm 790 adventure
Yes, I was in a showroom on Saturday (but escaped with me wallet intact), A lot of KTMs have those new flat insectoid headlights. Also Kawasaki are doing similar with the really low down flat headlight and modern triumphs have that Wasp arrangement at the front. Not sure I'm quite old enough to hanker after a more classic look but I am a big fan of single regulat shaped front lights. The lack of symmetry of my own CRF250 Rally means I try not to look at the front.
I've never seen a fuel tank so low down before, isn't that at additional risk of damage? I guess KTMs already rely on a fuel pump.

And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

Same fuel tank setup as the 950/990 had and it'll have a fuel pump for the injection anyway. The tanks on the 950/990 were very tough and hard to damage so I'd suspect these will be similar.
Not a fan of the headlight either but that's progress apparently

Re: ktm 790 adventure
Is it me or was that rider even worse than me?
The bike looks very big and unwieldy, which is rather disappointing.

Re: ktm 790 adventure
Either that's a small person or a much bigger bike than I was expecting. I like the headlight. Also it seems really loud although that could just be the recording.
Looks good in black.
