The current situation in SA regarding above boils down to only two models and one manufacturer- Ktm 690 and Husky 701.
Are these bikes worthy of taking the class forward in the footsteps of those that went before ?
What are they like to live with and what are the major issues that need to be addressed - re reliability - fuel range etc ?
Is ride by wire a no brainer or a potential problem.
Is there a long term solution to the well documented  fuel pump problem.
Please share some feedback on high mileage examples ( exceeding say 60000 km )
