2012 ktm 990 adventure
Contemplating a 701
What's my 990 worth you reckon?

16500 miles
Mot
Service history by previous owner then serviced by myself every 3k
Sm Pro wheels 2.5 rear and 1.85 front with billet hubs
High fender kit
Rade garage led rally fairing
Renthal High bars
Msc ralle moto steering dampner
Rottweiler induction kit
Rottweiler storage box
Rade garage undersea storage compartment
Zen overland rear rack
Touratech rear master cylinder gaurd
Carbon engine covers
Adv spec sump gaurd
Remus titanium single exhaust conversion
Suspension raised to 245mm travel
Super enduro 0.90kg front springs
Custom graphics kit
Rally fuel tank caps
Oberon clutch slave cylinder
Rottweiler twin fan kit

This 990 is one hell of a set up bike and shifts on and off road.
Has a few marks here and there but nothing bad at all.

Re: 2012 ktm 990 adventure
I'm not sure what it's worth but I'd suggest having a good go on a 701 before commiting.
I've had a 690 and I'm on a 990 now..... Oh.... I wonder if the 990 is actually a better all rounder. Although I suppose the husky has better suspension and a less vibey motor which were two bugbears of mine on the 690.
I find the 990 cossetts my crap riding whereas the 690 (shit 701 comparison) was more of a fighter, still a nice bike mind.
Im rambling, just enjoying a bit of quiet time in front of the fire exercising my forefinger!
Good luck selling her. I know of a chap looking for one so I'll direct t him here...

Go 790R.
Lighter than 990, faster, good suspension, great offroad, better fuel economy, more comfy and better on faster roads than 701/690.
790R feels same weight as 701/690 when pushing around
701/690: yes lighter than 790R, but a 500exc/501 will do the same work and be better offroad and up to 75mph on road.
For adventure touring/trail riding 790r makes 701/690 redundant IMHO....

I wouldn't touch a 790!
That footpeg issue is just plain idiotic on ktm's part.
Not to mention the price.
The performance is negligible against the 990 and certainly not enough to fork out that amount of money.
