These things have a better power/weight ratio than a Honda CR500. The CR500 is 101kg + an 80kg rider = 181kg/55rwhp =3.29kg per horsepower vs KTM/GASGAS/HUSQVARNA 690/700/701 which is 146kg + 80kg rider for 226kg/70rwhp = 3.22kg per horsepower. For anyone who wants CR500 type power in a street legal, fuel-efficient dirt bike with adventure capabilities this is your go-to machine.
What a fantastic review! I am going to get this one as my next bike. It also seems light enough fit on a hitch trailer!
Oh. I get what you are saying. Effectively a crossover. The transition point between the top end of one category and the bottom end of the next.

It’s rowdy! No shortage of power for sure 👍🏻
