I rode the 690 first. Initially I really liked it. The motor was better than what I have in my 640 Adventure, but the more I rode it, the less impressed I was.

At first I could not put a finger on why I was not so impressed. It wasn't until I rode the 1290 that I realized the usual KTM quality was just not in the 690.
When I tried the 690 Enduro earlier in the year, I was really impressed by that bike. If my 640 was not so new or I did not have a big enduro, I would have purchased the enduro 690.


I also liked the looks of the 390. Thought that would be the perfect bike to get in race trim if I was still road racing.

Definitely ride the smaller bikes first if doing test rides.
Let us know what you think when you get out on them.

Cheers
