2016 model
« on: July 13, 2015, 08:06:47 pm »
While at the dealer today we were talking about the 690. My dealer is himself an old racer, and he was saying that while at a meeting with ktm, they were telling him that 2015-16 at lattest will be the last year for the 690.  although it will live on as a husky 710. ktm is looking to replace it with a v twin . he said around a 800 cc.  I just hope husky keeps the ball rolling.

It's just something Husky did with the KTM 500. They added the 1, making theirs the 501. I read somewhere that they were doing the same thing with the KTM 690. Calling theirs the 701.
