Was watching some videos on YouTube last night and came across this beast! Anybody here have/had one? Looks like a fairly lightweight large displacement bike.
Cool...thx for responding. I saw a few videos and was curious as to why I don't see any of these around. I heard one guy say that he's seen them sell for more than original showroom price! Now that's cult status for real!
Very informativeMy honest assessment from someone that has a lot of experience around these bikes is that the Super Enduro was made instantly obsolete by the new 790R, much to the chagrin of the fan boy owners of the remaining Super Enduros. They are great off road, but fuel range with the stock tank is horrible (barely 100 miles off road), and they have a few other issues as well. They were a spectacular sales failure for KTM, so now they are true cult bikes. and they have a fierce loyal following. You can find them on the used market pretty easily, but their cult status has their owners usually asking top dollar--as in over-priced. KTM is also discontinuing the parts supply for this bike. Lots of parts are NLA--the radiator being one of those.
If you want a full analog, carb'd motorcycle with no frills, then this might be your bike. It is very capable off road, but the new 790 will outperform it in every single area. The internet hype for this bike is about as strong as any that is out there.
I'm telling ya, if you can't wait for the 790, get a used 690
