Shame it doesn't have an option for a lower can like a 450 Rallye bike
2018 KTM 790 Adventure
- Thread starter Arsey
- Start date
The KTM 790 ADVENTURE R has several adjustable features to enhance rider comfort, including a higher or lower seat option, and six handlebar mount positions. A low-slung fuel tank, which lowers the centre of gravity, improves handling, and allows the rider to move around more freely. Its long-distance race ergonomics are designed for extreme riding, and the easy-to-access air filter makes it simple to change on the trail.
Anyone any news on seat heights available?
Cheers

No way fitting the 2 piece seat to the R will bring the seat ht down to 850mm - the height diference is more to do with the longer travel suspension (200mm compared to 240mm)
Good point well made
Hate the mismatched luggage though. Really spoils the overall look. Looking good for mounting some soft luggage though
I would want soft luggage. Can you see if that can really sticks out as far as it appears to please

It does appear to. Will take a look.
I'll be looking to change the high mudguard for the lower one, I find the high one makes my 690 a bit flighty at higher speeds -
Exactly ......a windsock for no purpose

Shows how far it sticks out
It'll need some kind of support/spacer for the R/H bag then...
Or a roll bag will be strapped fore & aft. Never have a pillion.

Found a better one
You getting one then?
Arsey, what did you think of it in the flesh?
I have to say my expectations weren't set too high but having seen your photos and others I'm really quite liking it.
So far what I've read all sounds good, other than the weight which is a little disappointing. I'll defo be sorting a test ride on one to see what it's like
Oh, and another thing, apart from (I'm assuming?) the hassle of needing to remove the tank to get at anything I really, really like the idea; it keeps the weight good and low, protects the bike in a fall and should even give a modicum of weather protection as well as allowing you to be over the bars more and have a nice narrow seat. Inspired really and like a lot of these things I'm surprised it's not been done before.

Much nicer in the flesh than I was expecting .
They look good, might swop the 1190 for one if the Mrs likes it when we go to the bike show.
Could make the perfect tourer for her and commuter for me.

That's not a Karoo. Maybe it's a tyre lottery.
How was the show? People here are saying it is a lot smaller than last year.

so its not much lighter than a 950/990, its less bhp, way more complicated with its whizbang can bus, abs, xyz etc. Was expecting somthing more, dont know what just a greater improvement since 2003
I'm glad it has conventional forks and shock. You do have to wonder whether some electronic thing will go wrong and leave you stranded down some mountain pass. I guess we'll find out.

Oh yes hadn’t looked that close.
Show was great. I think one less hall than last year but still three times the NEC show.
