Looking guardant to this one. The motorcycle looks aesthetically pleasing and purposeful, adjacent erstwhile camouflaged ( I was not wholly convinced astir the insect similar look of the existent gen 390 adv).
Many connected societal media person expressed interest implicit the prime of underbelly exhast, especailly during h2o crossings with isses similar vaccum fastener successful lawsuit of an motor stall. But I americium hoping KTM would already person thought done these issues and considered them successful their plan approach.

A fewer of my idiosyncratic expecation/wishlist:

* Moderate spot tallness of astir 830-840mm
* Generous suspension question (180mm oregon much connected some the end) and prefebly with adjustability for rebound.
* Better debased extremity rideability than existent gen 390 (Triumph 400 is bully for reference)
* Decent vessel capacity, a minimum of 15L oregon more.
* Good lasting and riding ergonomics, which existent gen 390 lacks a spot with inclined ft pegs, etc.
* Ground clearence of a minimum 0f 200mm
* An optional halfway stand
* Good headlight (most LEDS these days look agleam but are useless successful existent life, including the likes of Himalayan 450, triumph 400 series, etc)
* Good Horn, suited for Indian condition, similar what banal Interceptor comes with.
* Good upwind extortion for agelong haul connected road to scope disconnected roadworthy lcoations.
* Tyres look tubed. But an optional and affordable tubeless spoke acceptable similar what RE is done with Himalayan to beryllium agreat adjacent arsenic an accessory.
* And each this with a bedewed value of nether 175kg.

BTW, looks similar the motorcycle is good (ab)used wherever the beforehand rim is already dented.
