2012 ktm 690 enduro r, ny usa, prepped for tat/ bdr/ tcat/ overland travel

I believe that this 690 is about as bullet proof as one can make it. I also had/ have a 2008, both purchased new, and this one was set up with the intent of riding the TAT. Unfortunately work commitments and vacation time will not allow that to happen in the near future, and this one is not going to be ridden enough. I would rather see it used for it's intended purpose.


I've done everything that I could to upgrade the long range comfort, as well as any recognized potential points of failure to make this bike as rideable and reliable as possible. It is currently set up for a tall rider, but I will easily return it to stock at a buyer's request.



The list of mods in this ad will almost certainly be incomplete by a long shot, but I'll cover as much as I can remember;

From original post, "Low Profile Rear LED Turn Signals". Fronts look standard.

I had a 2012 model year 690 R and it's when a bunch of improvements were made. Very nice bike, and the price looks good.

Price has been reduced, if it doesn't sell soon, it will be returned to stock and I will part out the accesories.

Pease make a reasonable offer as I'd rather not go through the bother. fwernerf @ yahoo. Com
