Soft OEM seat replaced with a Renazco Racing seat at 2000 miles.
Rocker cover leak at 7000 miles.
Soft fork and shock springs replaced with stiffer units at 9000 miles.
There is nothing presently available from another manufacturer that has the capability of a 640 Adventure.
Unless a substantially "better" version comes along, I'll continue to ride it and be happy.
Not a bike for everyone... a dedication to the model and mechanical aptitude are prerequisites. Your efforts will be rewarded with a street legal bike, capable of serious long-range off-road use... at speeds other "Adventure bikes" can only imagine.
You say there is nothing on the market that compares.. what about the KLR650?? Cheaper too..
A KLR 650 is cheaper than the KTM, but the two bikes are not comparable. The KTM has quite the upper hand in the off-road performance department, as well as street acceleration.
No real comparison. The KTM has it in spades over the heavy, piggish KLR. And it is lighter and has a larger fuel tank. Plus, the KTM is a much better looking machine. The only advantage, in my opinion, is the cost. But KTMs have a great resale value, and are much better off road.
To each his or her own.. there are fans of both machines, but I will choose KTM every time.
This bike is fun, I've had it for three years now. Gets on it for sure. A wheelie machine.
