I have just moved from the 990r, a superb bike, on and off road(in certain conditions)
IMO
I have now a 2020 690r enduro, with seat concepts seat, wings end can and a decent bash plate....and do you know what, it feels faster than the 990 up to 80 on open roads. Power to weight ratios etc quicker shifter is superb (still using the clutch sometimes)
I haven't gone the full rally raid fairing look, more of a half way house. The front MST enduro mask is great upto 90 on open roads and Motorway work. With OS18 bags and rear rack for an us20, plus a 12 litre expandable tank bag, makes it my mini ADV. I'm going to give it some long journeys B4 the Western Alps LC8 rally next year.. less space means less beer and a
compact folding rucksack for beers nearer destination
Going to get the air filter mode next years to free up more storage under the seat (not going to get the 5ltr tank as in Europe your never far from a petrol station, and if needs be a 2 litre coke bottle will surfice)

There’s so much bollocks written in this thread the most surprising thing is that most of it was (presumably) written early enough in the day that most of the inmates hadn’t had the chance to get on the pop

Surely all POV are valid?

I have been eagerly awaiting the release as I have already placed an order with a local dealer for this - I am somewhat disappointed though to find out that they've put the 43mm Apex Forks and suspension off the 890 S on albeit with slightly more travel - considering the idea is to use this bike both on and off road I really can't fathom out why they haven't gone the Xplor route - unless they are going to bring out a higher spec version like their KTM stable mates. May be worth waiting to see what the Ducati Desert X is after all!!

So not quite an 890 Adventure R yet then!

Normal KTM operating practise to release the *basic* version first. Proper, orange framed R versions generally come later. Maybe they'll do the same with Husky?
