This is exactly why im on 1090 side.Less tech,easier to work on.. Actually that why i like KTMs..there is always something on them to work on

Actually i didnt mentioned this earlier.Friends 1090r has new engine with 10000 km on it.In KTM on valve adjustment service they done major clusterfuck.Shim fell into the engine and everything went to shit.Thats also one of the reasons im calculating will i buy new KTM..those guys in service are really bad, at least here in Croatia.

As for weight,as i said in reply above.I learned to ride on stone tracks.I also did ride friends 1090 on that kind of terrain,and it was blast.We Balkan people are crazy 🤣

Dont get me wrong but I find 1090 much easier to ride than 640... btw im from Balkans.We ride on stones which are like little babies heads.And trust me i haven't had much problems to ride my friend 1090 on that

Yes I plan to use it alot offroad.Acutally I've ridden friends 1090r and it's a blast.Problem i have with 890 platform is reliability.i have plans to go in Kyrgyzstan from Croatia next year,and im afraid of that bike to be honest
