Great video !! Love that xr650l , baby shouldn't be in the corner !! I'm going to be riding the Adventure Polooza south track this year on my xr650l !!
Aloha from Hawaii, I bought a 2020 690 built out nearly identical to your set up in this video. I remember you mentioned in an early video you had a friend that helped you dial in the suspension settings a little different from the KTM recommended settings and it rode a lot better. If you don't mind sharing what settings you have it at now across the board that would be helpful. I will be riding the east coast BDR's and then the TAT on it and would like a baseline to start with. It's got 1700 miles on it all street and original owner did not have any mosko's on it like I do now. Mahalo's Thomas
As far as the overall feel of the bike, I personally think the 790 feels very similar to the 890. The 890 has a little more power. Outside of that, they are similar. In my opinion, the 890 is faster on road than the T7 and also better off-road. The suspension is just better. The motor is faster. I won’t say it is better, just faster. I hope that makes sense.

Hi, Thomas! Congrats on a killer bike! I’ll check on those settings and get back to you.
Is there much of a difference between the KTM790 and 890? And how would you rate the KTM 890 (standard version) vs the Tenere 700? Thanks!

Seat concepts seat ? Much better than stock?
WAAAAAAAYYYYYY better than stock. Still a thumper dual sport though. After 2-3hours in the saddle sitting, you will feel it.
What part of Southern Illinois you from? I went to SIUC.
Same! I’m about an hour north of Carbondale

@@dcryder9736 we have been down for that a few times!
I currently own a XR650R with plenty power. Can anyone convince me to get this KTM😂 so I can show to my wife.
😂🤣 The XRR is a great bike with great power! The 690 just has more. Lol
