Touring on a 690 SMC? : r/KTM. I’ve realized that my bike is the wrong choice for my annual tour and looking for something more capable. I ride a Duc Monster 1100, which is amazing for 70% of the ride, but sucks when the road gets rough or we hit gravel. This year, I ended up on a WR250R with motard wheels, and it was perfect on that 30% of
16 minutes ago, Chris Chapman said: I believe that all 690's post 2012 have a larger displacement motor (a true 690), up from 654 cc for the 08-11 model years.
