Very good review. I traded my Tuono in for one in March this year, its the most fun ive had on a bike in years, you can just amble along on it or go for it on the back roads and its happy doing either. Having turned 60 i wanted a lighter bike to move around.
A colleague of mine has a 2018 KTM 690 SMC that he converted to a motard, so basically the same bike-ish. With a chinese nock-off Acrapovic that's loud enough to wake Hades from his winter sleep, and clear the earwax of everyone within a 100m radius. Incredible fun bike to ride. But I wouldn't want one, it's way to much vibrations for my taste.
7:17 The bike has the overall look of a DR-Z in a way, so the rock hard seat makes sense.
Yeah I thought the same

Nice one, they are great fun with enough poke to put a grin on your face !
I had one for 3 years, loved it, almost cried when I had to sell it. These all need a pipe, tail tidy and stickers but then again don’t most bikes😊
Very true
I take any bet on it that this would be the first bike that not survives the first Oil Change in Nicks Hands
