I like my Husky grass trimmer. Is that a KTM style fuel tank; down low? I like the back rotor guard, but I don't think the front one would be good in mud.

I think it looks the part - great styling - but I currently ride a Husky TR650 Terra and am yearning the less demanding Super T, for worry-free motoring. I wanna tour the Philippines and need a bike that just does it.

My thumper is lovely, sounds beautiful, but I worry. I have never had a breakdown but long rides get ya thinking.

It is the BMW GS650 with higher compression, but had very bad manners outta the box. Overheating and low speed, lean idle stumble, which is, quite frankly f-ing dangerous. This is, I believe, due to emissions regs. So, the EVAP had a "Canisterectomy'', the fuelling got a Ferrari Dino injector for 10% more fuel delivery (which cooled as well), lambda delete, the baffles were removed and cats drilled out. Then, the bike's value was increased in value permanently by removing the thermostat and "fixing'' it with a couple of peso coins. The ecu was sent to Italy and, after all the previous, it now runs cooler and has no stalling issues. In fact, I believe now this is the bike it should have been all along, erm, after lowering the gearing slightly.

Looks are one thing. The Tenere is another...

Good looking side profile. That headlight appears like it could be questionable.

How ironic is that coming from me.

Seriously, first gut reaction is that's a good looking bike.

It's really only a KTM with Husky styling & we are still only seeing the concept bikes rather than pre-production - it seems that roll out is a foregone conclusion though, with deliveries sometime in early 2022.

It's different; I quite like it too, but not enough to tempt me to change.

Upper & lower engine guards, stout looking hand guards & luggage that seems built for off road & a skid plate that won't need replacing, after market company's probably will hate this bike;)

Yes, lots of KTM parts carried over but I really do like the look of this.
