390 hybrid
With KTM soon to release a 390 adventure bike just wondering if anyone has tried putting the 390 engine into an enduro rolling chassis, making a great lightweight all rounder?
I think such a bike could just about tick all the boxes I’m looking for; small, light, reliable, frugal and able to tackle everything in its stride, from hard off road to long road stints and tours when needed, a Perfect RTW adventure bike that you can add luggage to for adventure or remove for pure off road fun.
These type of bikes used to exist but the only one left seems to be the crf250l.
I’d have thought for a company the size of ktm, this would be an easy project that they could have done years ago, there seems to be lots of riders that ride fairly hard off road but don’t want the high service levels of the competition engines
