Best review I have seen so far...thanks for some real useful information. BTW you are a very competent rider, you look good going both slow and fast (a former AMA Expert/Pro License holder for 125cc Motocross and 250cc/350cc Road Race).
Great review mate I run a KTM 690R it's an amazing bike. I have the 5L Auxiliary tank I generally average around 350-400kms with 15T-50T gearing and Motoz Rallz rear Enduro IT Front cheers
Great looking bike - love the black rear vinyl panels and they do make the bike look slimmer. I have kitted mine out but would love to be able to add the black panels (keeping the rest of the bike very red). The bike is awesome on and off road, but would advise getting the OE rear spring tension adjuster fitted and setting up the sag properly before going off road. Congratulations on the build, it's a real head-turner.
Thanks for the review. I just wish KTM would improve quality control and parts. I've been waiting for over 2 months for a TPS that fits my 690. Still I wait. Never again will a buy a KTM. Lucky I have my T7 to ride.
Ktm's are over priced pieces of shit, had a couple and couldn't wait to get rid of them , straight back to yamaha I went , I'm on my 9th yz450f and will never buy another brand again... I'm in Australia and got one of the first 2023 yz450f and it is a absolute weapon I couldn't ask for a single thing to be changed on it and by far the best bike I've ever riden in the bush by far.. there wouldn't even be another 2023 450 even close to it , when I'm moving it around in the shed it's like moving my son's yz250f ... if anyone is on the fence about getting one do yourself a favor and buy one you 100% will not regret it, bravo yamaha 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You’re the kind of guy who wants its comment to be on top thanks to a funny but obviously not that smart enough remark… like something obvious for everyone. Ok boy… that’s not our shit here
I wish you had mentioned the seat height is 1" taller than the KTM 690 and Husky 701. I used your videos to help me make my purchase decision but couldn't figure out at first why I felt like I was riding on top of the bike instead of in it. Even after raising the bars and such I couldn't get it to feel good for me. I found out later about the seat height being different. This bike is very very tall. I'm 6'1" and it still feels super tall for me. I ride on my tippy toes. I just installed a lowering link in hopes that helps, and plan to purchase a seat concepts seat. We'll see how it goes. But all in all, I would have bought the KTM or HUSKY had I known this ahead of time. I don't understand why Gas Gas messed with the ergos. I know it's not your fault and I should have known before buying. I was just really excited when I was at the dealer and didn't realize it at first.
On any of the 690 bikes, it’s easier to do on trail fixes and home maintenance versus the big adventure bikes. Try getting to the spark plugs easily on anything with a huge tank over the front
yea looks the part , how did you find the seat height ? i would be keen for a ride on one ,at present im on a 390 adventure and ktm 250 exc 2 stroke , would be nice to do more on one bike . cheers good video
Great review and great channel. What about the clutch slave cylinder? Are you planning to swap it with some aftermarket ? Did you notice too much heat from the Euro5 exhaust?

Disappointed. As a 701 owner, I'd like ktm to manufacture this bike with some mods as other suspensions, shock and few other things. They really have the opportunity to make something much bigger and they miss it. It's just another 690/701 just colored different.
Compared to the 690/701 Enduro this is just another one... A Gas Gas 500 and 600cc Enduro + Adv Rally models are more interesting and what riders are asking for!
Does this bike have the same gearbox as the 690? I find the first gear on my 690 a bit to high. The 690 would be a much better bike with a different gearing.
Love it. Way better looks that Husky. I would like a full body costume in that bike.👍 One question.The transmission is the same as the 690? How is the gear pitch here? On the closed trails and in the forest, what gear did you use mainly? PS. "I Designed it. Go and buy it." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I don't think anybody but racers buy a new bike and change the tires before riding it.... And putting better dirt tires on the bike means they only last 3k mi of dual use.

No problems in Germany ordering parts... Also you have to forgive em because of corona parts are all on backorder.

It has had some funny hiccups
But always recoverd lol

What’s the fully tanked weight difference GasGas versus 701?
Other manufacturers sell the same bike in different colours. KTM offer the same bike in 3 brands.
No shit?
Wow… you’re a freak’n genius for figuring that out…

Would love to see a video about the materials and process of graphics kit for sure! Does plastics from the ktm 690 fit on the GasGas?
On any of the 690 bikes, it’s easier to do on trail fixes and home maintenance versus the big adventure bikes. Try getting to the spark plugs easily on anything with a huge tank over the front
Very nice review. Thanks !
I like red hot sauce over oranges...
Love this bike, and the T7. In your opinion, if you love riding off road and don't mind traveling hours to get to a nice spot, which one?

WAS JUST LOOKING buying one ,just got off the phone with the dealer lol then your video popps up , must be telling me something .by by T7
I went from the tenere to the gasgas, soo much better off road and found it actually quieter on the road due to the poor t7 screen. 👍
*THE MATRIX HAS YOU*
Read other reviews before buying.
Do you have to pay more for them to paint red over orange?
It sure beats anything that those red Honda's have to offer and believe me I wish Honda made a bad ass bike like this.
Less...
LOL I was just talking about you on another channel!
Does it have an endo sensor?
It has the same gear box as the KTM ?
Where do I buy that hat?
Looking forward to the Rally tower install, will you use the new CF kit from Rade?
No, used the street legal rally kit by Rebel X, video is here on the channel

its a ktm690 with gas gas pannels.

@@SKgeostrat I’ve already tried that but I loose to much highway capability then
That's funny.
It's a husky 701 in red
but a husky is a KTM in white...

It looks like the front wheel wants to deflect off of everything.
looks good

One question.The transmission is the same as the 690?
How is the gear pitch here? On the closed trails and in the forest, what gear did you use mainly?
PS. "I Designed it. Go and buy it." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks!! Yes same transmission as the 690, on the right trails generally kept 2nd and 3rd gear but depends a lot on which sprocket you mount.

I would sell my Tenere to buy this bike.

In my case, I always prefer "normal" gray aluminum rims 👍👍
I love the silver rims and is one of the reasons I bought this bike instead of the others.
I hate the black shit wheels that all the other bikes have.
Rims are supposed to be "silver" gray or bright chrome. Black is the fad.
@@johnnyrebellion8672 Absolutely agree.
At least they could have put some stickers on the rear end.
Looks really cheap.
Black wheels would also look much nicer.
👏🏍👌👍🇳🇴
The colour theme looks boring compared with Husky and Team Orange. I also find the rims look cheap. Greetings from Germany.
what's wrong with KTM putting same engine everywhere...BORING
They sacked Ramy so i will not buy one😡
another 690 same as 701 not much difference.
A flyweight GasGas 500 and 600 Enduro and in ADV Rally models are more interesting and what riders are asking for!
Its the same bike as the others he's comparing it to... LOL
They need to work on the looks a little more come on Gas Gas hmhmm I mean KTM and Husky help them out
Too bad about the 6K mile valve adjustment requirement though.
Gas gas sux French and poor ktm copy
