Hey all,

As the 2014's appear to be largely sold out, folks are already hungry to know about the 2015 model.  If you hear any rumors about the new bike's updated specs, release date, or new features, please post about it here.

I talked with a dealer last week.  He anticipates there being an updated Speedometer/control center.  Other than that possibly a minor update to suspension.  I'm currently waiting to jump in to the 690 camp from my F800GS. 
Struggling to decided between it or a 1200GS.  I know no one with a 690, all my co-riders have 1200's.  Most of my riding is trails within 100 miles - except for those runs to CO and Mexico's Copper Canyon.

Hey guys! I just got back from Austria, I visiting my cousin Hans and Davidoff. I went to the KTM headquarters and demanded to see the new concepts for 2015 enduro. All ill say is "6 days", new speedo, and a better seat! Wow. Wait till you guys see this thing. Unreal.

A better seat?  I'd love to see that!

 

Wow, that's awesome!  How much did that set you back?

I have not bought yet....I currently am using the one I built myself from the stock pan...much better, but I want one of these...still deciding.  Either one will run about $500.  not cheap, but my seat issues (discomfort) is the MAJOR reason I stop riding any day.      That one is a RUSSEL DAY LONG.... (sport version)....and this one is from Richs Custom Seats in Seatlle.    RUSSELL actually uses springs in the 'wings'...where Rich does not...    I think Richs might allow for a bit more customization.....but I have NEVER read a dissatisfied review from a RUSSELL cusomter....at all....   



I am still deciding.

Does the new speedo still have an analogue tach?

 A radio on a 690 Enduro? Why for?  My FMF Powercore pipe playing on all six gears is music to me! Toss the radio. So about the seat. That could definitely use an upgrade. I use the Seat Concepts Gripper cover & foam. I love it. I've done some 500 mile days & was whooped but I never had to pull over because my a55 was sore. The Seat Concepts seat is probably the best $$$ I spent on my 690. I think they are $185 for the cover & foam.

Yes and it only AM audio too. I thought seat concepts seat was more expensive than 185??

If you have THEM do it and provide the pan...it is more.. :
