There are a few parts suitable for touring and an ABS on the KTM, but the fun is in every cell. You can't describe it like the shape of a headlight mask or the technical structure of an ABS system. It will probably remain a mystery forever how KTM builds such motorbikes and we will never find out why they are so much fun.

Powerful engine

ABS

improved seat

optimal chassis

positive riding experience.

Small windscreen.

Like the Kawasaki Versys, the small V-Strom is getting on a bit. The 1000 is so well done and easy to ride that you should consider taking the "big one" right away. In terms of versatility, however, the 650 is in no way inferior to the big V-Strom, and at a much lower price. But we wouldn't take it to the racetrack any more. And of course it has to cope with a heavy load more than a motorbike with 100+ hp.

Full torque

good sound

large tank

relaxed seating position

somewhat old-fashioned look

narrow handlebars

sluggish in bends
