And yeah Tmotten, I have also looked at the KTM 690 Enduro and the dealer told me the adventure version would come next year. However, I've always heard the negatives of KTM, e.g. break down a lot, difficult to fix (or even change oil), parts take long time to come by or even difficult to get in other places, and the maintenance schedule is really short (6000 km on KTM vs. 10,000km on Beemer or Yamaha). Yes, most guys ride KTM at Dakar, but they seem to have a whole crew fixing their bikes every night. Admittedly, I have this subjective bias, but I'm open to hearing the facts and your opinions too.
