Just noticed this posted in thumpers.. It certainly doesn't look like a photoshop, and the front tie in closely to the new 1190 Adventure, making me think it's not an aftermarket build. Thoughts?
Tank looks like 660 Rally. Dont know how they got the fairing done. Does not look like an adventure from a few reasons. High mudguard, all adventures tend to have low. No passenger footpegs. Looks like a rear fuel tank on the RHS. I wish it was though.
Looks like a kit for the 690. Those front tanks do not look KTM at all, the top is to square and it looks the right side tank does not look factory. Nice looking kit though. Kinda like this...
Love the tanks and the fairing. I think i prefer the twin headlight though. I hope it turns out to be a kit.
Im yet to see a factory adv bike supplied with a proper bash plate like the one in the pic leet alone the rallye styled low header ??? Chances??? Plenty have waited a long time and personally I think theyll be waiting a little longer mores the pity..
Apparently it's sitting at Dalby Moto, a mate saw it today. The kit is in the rough, not yet finished stage. Been modelled on a 690 rally, and using the new 1190 headlight.
Ive heard that a number of complete bikes will be produced before a kit is offered for sale. Kit will be extensive and inc bash plate, nav tower, fairings and exhaust with all brackets, nuts and bolts. Not sure on the timing of the release but Id guess before the end of year. Im assuming the 700 will retain the 690cc motor, just like the 640 Adv was really a 625 I suppose. Given a base 690 enduro R costs $15500 in the eastern states I wonder what it'll add to the cost??? $20000+ possibly Santa will be nice to some lucky punters...........
It would be paint shaker !! 700 single !!! Rough as guys surely. Wouldn't an 800 twin be better suited to super fuel duties?
