690 Discussion / 2016 - 690 Enduro? or 690 Adventure? What will it be?
« on: September 04, 2015, 09:39:24 am »
Hi Everyone. There has been some speculation that the new 2016 690 Enduro will actually be an Adventure model. Possibly KTM could release both versions. Back in April I put down $2.5K on a 2016 Freeride because my local dealer told me that most likely they would only get one in initially. I was also told that it would arrive in mid-July. Well here we are in early September and still no Freeride. Over the ensuing months I made payments on the bike and have now paid it off in full. Also over the last couple of months I started thinking that at this point, with the colder weather coming and other factors, that I should get the 690 Enduro (I know, they are completely different bikes) so I told my dealer that I want to switch my money over to the 690. I was told that they would be getting the 690 in soon after they receive the Freeride and other 2016 models. I went to my dealer yesterday and pressed them to give me any info they have on the 690 such as delivery date and Enduro or Adventure. All he would tell me is that he "should" get delivery of the 690 before the end of the year and that the Freeride could come in any day or week now. So I went home and checked all over Al Gore's wonderful Internet for info on the 690. The best thing I found was this Forum and that the 2016 690's may not be delivered until March. I want both bikes but the 690 I want more. So does anyone have any further info on the 690 delivery date because this will help me decide whether or not to take the Freeride if it does come in soon. I don't want the dealer holding on to my money until next April....
