KTM 690 SMCR

I don't know if it's only new colours they've got going on, but that's rather nice

Still rather have a 690Duke though in truth, purely for the riding position which was easier/better.

I understand why they put the fuel tanks where they are but they do make it look like it's shat itself.

I'm sure it's a fun bike to ride,but I can't get excited by the visuals.

To my eyes it looks like an old crosser with road tyres,like farm vehicles,meant for a job,not to admire.

Anyway,Spring's coming,so get it bought already. :thumbup:
