I don't know whether it is age, the looming "electric age", the undoubted social impacts of COVID, the whole "war" thing - but I am less and less inclined towards change. And to be clear - I am not somebody who believes that all movement is an advance. And I do not change vehicles often, anyway. If "it" fits me - then a decade is usual ownership. It will need to be a huge improvement to get me off the 790D. Also - and I do not think I am alone here - I am really put off by the KTM "everything fun is optional" concept. Also I like tinkering and most modern vehicles make that VERY difficult.
If it is to be a Sports Tourer it will need a much bigger tank range - 400-500kms. I was told (by a main dealer here) not long after buying my 790D that KTM wanted really to axe the SDGT. But there are (I understand from the Press) indications that many ADV purchasers are moving back to good old fashioned Sports Tourers.
I really don't care what everybody else does. But I dont think I've made a big secret that an ADV riding position with 17" wheels would persuade me more than a 21/18 or even a 19/17. I am not rushing to change. But am realistic enough to know that the next bike I buy may well be the last one I buy. And I think it will need to be a do everything bike.
Sorry - the sun is out - I started to wander a bit.
