    Good news: the KTM 790 Adventure is back! Back in 2020 it had a base price of $12,699, which was only about 10 percent higher than a 500 dual-sport bike. Then it morphed into an 890, with more features and a bigger price tag. For 2024, the 890 is still available, but so is the 790, only this time the price is $10,990. That’s about 10 percent less than a 500 dual-sport. How is that possible? The bike is now assembled at the CFMoto factory in Hangzhou, China. We know the place well-we actually toured the factory a few years ago. It’s as modern and sophisticated as anything in Europe or Japan. It does, however, have cheaper labor costs and that’s what allows the 790 to come in with a lower price and compete with bikes like the Honda Transalp and Yamaha T7. Only the assembly is done in China; all the parts are shipped there.

    I have exactly this motorcycle. And I'm totally happy with it. I previously had a 690 Enduro and in 2019 the 790 ADV. R. All without any problems. This one is finally how I wanted it to be from the beginning. It looks better now, the windshield is finally usable, the chassis is just right and I don't need to adjust anything anymore, the consumption is very low at around 4.8l per 100 km and the low center of gravity + low seat height makes it very accessible off-road. I only made a few visual changes and use a shorter gear ratio. The engine problems of the first 790 generation should no longer be an issue. The same engine (says my workshop master) no longer causes any problems in the CF Moto 800 models either.

    I want this bike , tried the 890 was way too high and heavy. Cam shaft issues are rectified and if you get the dealer to do your services you get an extra two yrs added warranty. I love kTm😁.

    What do you mean only for the first 1000 miles all the electronics are enabled? You have to pay extra to "keep" them? Are you fking kidding me?

    Here’s the problem, adventure where? If machine has a problem of some sort, you will have to truck it to the closest service center. Too complicated. Long live DRZ 400 and Klx 650!

      Probably the same problem now. Many with norden 901 have the same problem now. There is a FB group that only deals with this.
      I would have bought a KTM right away if only they had gotten their quality problems sorted out.

      I've a 2019 790 Adventure which is just shy of 20k miles and everything was ok when it had the valve service done 500 miles ago. Don't believe everything you read or see on the internet.

    KTM loses money's from this dump Idea of extra charge for electronics
    Example: they charge 1000$ on extras
    Lets say they get 50% sells from the solds bike
    So they get 500$ from each bike
    If they sold the bike with 500$ more with all the package is the same thing
    And still would be a good price
    KTM idiot marketing

      I'm in Canada and I got the Tech Pack, which includes the Rally Pack, for free just by showing up at the motorcycle show in March and registering for the free voucher. Plus, if I take the bike to the dealer for maintenance, KTM adds 2 more years to the warranty for a total of 4 years. This bike priced out identically this year to my 2021 T7 that I got in August 2020, including the E-options.

    If you really wanted to help people make an informed decision, go get a used one with 10000 miles on it and check the valves and cams. That would be a good informative video.
