New KTM 890 SMT

[ChrisW]

This has been launched today - maybe I'm just in a bad mood but I think it looks bloody hideous! It's like the duck-billed platypus of KTMs.

[KungFooBob]

Every branch.

An upright sm riding position 890. I'm all over it.

Looks, I'm not a huge fan I'll admit.

[G.P]

I've still got an SMT990 on my want list.
That looking bloody ugly but I don't think that's its best angle.
I'll go and find some info on it..could be a good tourer / commuter without going down the ADV route.

It's the return of Honda Dominator styling that nobody asked for, with added ugliness

[Taipan]

How on earth did they come up with that spilt bag of spanners! Bet its a cracking bike though...

[Supermofo]

Hmm. Best hope she rides well!

when you compare it against the 790 Adventure that appears to be the same light cluster, I think it's the beak mudguard and the height of the screen that's knocking it all off. I like the 790, the 890 SMT just looks all kinds of wrong

** Actually, not exactly the same light cluster on second look, but you get the gist

Not seeing the hideosity tbh...it looks like many other bikes but with a beak. Looks OK to me.

[Skub]

I wouldn't give that a second glance,never mind buy one.
