Why so many KTM 690's for sale??
« on: June 26, 2015, 12:35:59 pm »
From a KTM wannabee: Why are there so many KTM 690's for sale in the 20,000 to 30,000 kilometre range?
Is this where they pack up or become expensive?  >:D

Want na 20000 - 30000km is dit tyd vir 'n 990.   :ricky:

Want dis hoe lank dit vat vir die gewone ou om homself bang te ry. Hulle motors hou gewoontlik tot so 60 000 km met harde gebruik. Gewone gebruik kan jy 80 000 km plus sien. Ek is op my 2de 690. My eerste een was n 08 model met 97 000km. Toe is sy motor gaar... Koop vir jou n 690. Maak net seker hy was gereeld gediens.

My friend se 640 het al 77 000 km op. Hy wheelie daai arme bike oorals waar hy gan. Sy bike is 100 persent. Ons doen elke jaar n 5000 na 6000 km toer deer RSA. Solank die fiets gereeld gediens was en al sy valve checks gehaad het kan jy maar met n geruste hard koop. Die 640 is n beter fiets as die 690. Veral vir toer, waar die 690 n beter speel fiets is. Gan vir enige van die twee en geniet dit. Alby is n wenner fiets.

Ek het te oud geraak vir my 690!  Mis hom steeds, veral in rowwe gedeeltes.  Ek het 690 altyd geniet, net nie as my vrou saamgery het nie. Dit was een groot gesanik. Rede na 1190, en toer heerlik saam met vrou! Was nog nooit spyt ek het 690 gery nie.

I think the 690 makes a perfect second bike. One for shorter trips and then  a 990 for longer rides . I think maybe some buy it thinking it will make a perfect DS bike. If you not used to a single,or even a saddle like that,you will lose pluck very soon.

Kicks ass against my 640 big time, but eish I'd rather spend three hours on the 640 than the 690.

Horses for courses and still an awesome bike IMHO.

Ek het lank  n hoe km 640 besit, my boet n 690 en het verskeie km met beide gery, Los hande vat Ek eers die 640 as n algemene bike, sy spares is heelwat cheaper, sy seat is baie meer gemaklik, en hy accesorise makliker. Baie makliker om reg te maak ook. Die seerste wat Ek geval het was ook op die 690. Ek vermoed egter dat 690 eienaars van my gaan verskil
