It's not a 270 Deg crank, which mimics a 90deg v twin. KTM v twins are 75deg, and their 790/890 range have 285 Deg cranks to maintain the family feel and sound.

You're right. It has 435-degree firing intervals and 75-degree offset crank-pins to try and replicate the feel of KTM’s own V-Twin. I memorise all the specs so sometimes things get missed forgotten. It's harder than you think! :)

They make a surprisingly good solo tourer too other than the exhaust position means you can't fit a pannier on that side. Did 2500 miles this year on my 2018 down as far as Slovenia and the Italian Dolomites with no problems at all (at least non that were the bike's fault!), ergonomics are excellent - no aches and pains even on a 400km day, very economical - you can get 200 miles from that little tank if you have to and obviously fast with brilliant handling.

It’s a nice bike. I had one for 3 hours as my 890 duke was being serviced. It’s more raw than the 890. A few more vibes too. Bottom end punch is surprising (even compared to the more powerful and torque laden 890). As Dan said, it’s an arm puller. KTM are still unreliable however. I’ve had warped discs (not warranty job) leaking oil from cylinder head gasket, failed clutch switch and fogged TFT. Still £ for £ the most exciting sub £9k naked Money can buy so worth the foibles (as long as you live near a dealership). Not sure I’m brave to keep mine past the 2 year warranty. Most likely I’ll get the 890R next however!

I've got 6k miles on mine now and have had to replace the stock chain, fix leaking coolant hose and brake reservoir (likely both just vibrated loose due to excessive vibration coming from stock chain), and warped front discs. I actually trust CFMoto's reputation but it can't help any subpar materials. That being said, probably the most fun bike I've ridden so far and well worth the quirks; I wouldn't recommend one to anyone afraid to work on the bike themselves, though.

By the way, my Duke has a similiar seat as this one and I rode just over 700km in 10 hours without pain.

@@Englishbikerdan good for him. I think the problem is apparent though when you go to a site that has user reviews. The volume of Honda bikes sold, for instance, should mean you see quality issues. And often, it's "may corrode a little, otherwise bullet proof" where as KTM's are littered with "randomly stopped working on motorway" and so on. When you look at reported failure rates you can expect to return to the dealer more with KTM than you can with say, Japanese brands. And now that China is the origin for manufacturing of the new 790, it's going to be in question...

Great Vieo Dan. I#d love to Testride it!Buy it????? Not too sure! I'd be a little weiry about the reliability issues and I've heard KTM are allways reluctant to help! Service appointments are also rediculusly hard to get.
