The riding geometry felt natural and seat height was normal too. I am used to riding a 400X, for reference.
Bhpian nasirkaka recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
Saw a KTM showroom yesterday and the new ADVs displayed in the window. Went in to have a closer look.
Enough has already been said, seen and discussed on the bikes so without getting in to technical details, what I observed was as follows:
* The bike looks slim overall. And tall at the front with that big visor.
* View of cockpit from riders seat is nice and clean.
* Fit and finish felt bit industrial. like those black and decker products. Its not as well finished as say GS310 for eg. But this sense of rugged finish would help in using it the way its intended to and not baby it.
* I checked the cable lengths and seems like there is decent slack and handlebar risers should be possible to install without having cable length issues.
* There are way too many pastic panels all around and hope they dont vibrate and resonate over time adding to buzzy nature.
* The bike will be very difficult to keep clean.
* The riding geometry felt natural and seat height was normal too. I am used to riding a 400X, for reference.
Test rides were not available, and may take another few days. Waiting for a decent test ride to take a call. So far so good with the bike.
