Introducing the KTM 790 Adventure R (minus)

- My 2023 KTM 790 Adventure is now (almost) equivalent to the R model. Can you guess which upgrade I've made? Should you upgrade the (much) cheaper cousin of the 890? All revealed in this video. Later in the video you'll find some actual riding happening to exemplify what I'm talking about, so might be worth the wait of me rambling in the first few minutes.
ah darn it, days later it occured to me that the title should have been "Introducing the new KTM Adventure 801".
Nice! You will definitely have to buy your Buddy a brew:) That would not be a cheap upgrade. Glad to hear the bike is still working as it should with the 5600 miles you now have on it👍
haha yep! I was kind of surprised it made that much of a difference, but it's difficult for the general owner of this bike...all suspension upgrades even just springs are relatively expensive. As I said in the video it's not an essential upgrade by any means...but still!
I haven’t got mine yet, I don’t go to ktm until the 14th , is there not a dedicated R version like the 890R , lots of ads on auto trader say 790 adventure R ,I’m loving the videos as there coming from a novice so am I so I will be going through the same things 👍
The R would be the 2019 to 2022 version, which happens to be the one that has the cam issues cited more recently, so maybe best to be avoided? It isn't going to happen on every unit produced, but still. Interestingly there is a new 790R produced in the China market only, so chances are that might come to other markets in the future. I'd say if you go down a sprocket in the front, and change the tires (only about £250) you'll have a very competent off-road bike without doing anything that'll impact warranty etc. Depending on the dealer you might even be able to negotiate these as part of the sale.
@@nomading_in thanks for that 👍
