Vnb 4 T that would be.

I also have another one 125 VÑB5 T that's a 4 speed. That's the next project.

Oh nice!! I had Primavera 4 speed that was too far gone for me to restore :(

 

Great little bikes!

What does Bike Hub say about owning and maintaining a KTM? Looking at MAYBE getting a 690 Enduro R. 

 

Other options include

  1. F800GS
  2. Tenere 660
  3. Keep my CRF250L
  4. DR-Z400E 
  5. 650 X-Challenge
  6. One of each
  7. WR450F with papers
  8. All of the bikes, all of the time
  9. Realizing it's just an itch. It too shall pass. There shall be many more following on on this one.

Behind every KTM is an empty ATM but sometimes the fun is worth it.

A KTM 690. Depending on your intended use there are a few things to know about. Mainly fuel injection filtration for off the beaten track and frame bolts for luggage.  Big mileage - valve rocker arms.

 

Plenty, plenty internet resources.  The newer models are better.

We an internal joke at Yamaha - KTM= Kick Twenty Minutes, Keep Throwing Money, Kill the Marriage.

 

Jokes aside though, these days they are all good - I would cross the 650 X-Challenge off the list though - we tested one of those quite extensively and we felt it was more in the KLR/DR/XT660R Category and not a proper Adventure bike.

 

XT660Z is a great bike, but for real Adventure riding stuff, the KTM is probably your best bet.
