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.
