What you mean underrated??? Ktm india is biggest market of them that's why india have cheap ktm bikes here just do simple research dude. Yeah agree more popular attract more people which some of them defame the brand but it's ok that's not big deal like in foreign too people defame every super sport vehicle so would you stop buying it?? 😂

I'm strongly considering one of these as my next bike, looks like a good upgrade from my 636. I haven't really been vibing with inline 4s, so I'm thinking a massive twin is the move. Hopefully they aren't too expensive once they finally arrive in the states 😬

You seem to be one of the first to get your hands on this bike. I've had a look at the orange one in the shop a few days ago. I can't wait for the full review, and to get your feeling about the benefits of the cam shifting technology on this torque monster. I must say, I enjoy a 1290 SAS daily, but the increase in tank capacity and the appeal of the new engine make the SDR Evo really, really appealing. But the price...
@LifeofSmokey8 ай бұрын
EVO will be so much harder to ride as your SAS. But with the new suspension that might change a lot...we are waiting for license plates so I can ride it. This one was the first in the country by the way. And most of them come in iron racks , I got lucky this one was in a box 😅
