Hi there

Yes it was your compatriot 'Edog' that got me hooked on the KTM in the first place but then when all the balloons had popped and the champagne gone flat I realised the 690 is too focussed, way better off road than I am. Then I noticed his mate 'Phileppe' having a good time on the Tener�. That's more me I thought (age 54). I envisage plodding down dirt tracks wary of falling off and breaking something rather than floating across the top of ruts at speed plus a lot of unavoidable time sitting on hard top wishing I'd gone for a softer more ergonomic bike. The 660R seems to me to be even better than it's tall handsome cousin due to it's lower seat and lighter weight. Plus I can pick a new one up for the price of a screen and fuel tank I'd need to buy for the KTM!
