My uncle has a Ktm 690smcr -14, I don't like that bike, maybe it's to perfect for me
I dont like the powerband of the Ktm, nor how it feels when doing wheelies,
It's to easy, balance point seems to be significantly lower than the xt, and you can basically save any wheelie by cranking the throttle
The xt got some real bottom end torque that the 690 misses, however the 690 is extremely fast on the top end.
Best regards, Victor

The KTM 690 is lighter and has plenty of power, plus you will be driving a road legal bike. I know you have invested lot of money and time into the bike. But sometimes its time for a change
. Plus with 40000km on the clock its still possible to get a decent amount of money when you sell it. With more than 50000km it will get harder to sell the bike.
