Good saddle sore bike?

At the thick end of 11K in the UK that's before you start bolting farkles on as a poor pensioner it won't be me trying one
but a viable alternative to a 20K+ BMW RT/GS, but with 74 BHP from a 700 single twin balance shaft and at least 50 KG lighter it will be worth a look.
Could be a replacement for your old Tiger Phil?

Understand that this is essentially a KTM690 in a different trim. It looks like a feature rich, fun bike to ride. My ADV customers that had them enjoyed them a lot, but I've never heard of anyone doing LD riding on one. Personally, there are a lot more reliable, less expensive, twin and triple cylinder bikes that I would choose first before considering the 701.

I already have the Tracer 900 GT and the Grom. Both fantastic bikes. My three bikes cost less in total than a GS :D;):D;)
