Hi chaps, they were hinting that it would be around 9 grand. I'm exactly 6ft....like I say it was a nice enough bike, but there is a lot of plastic over the tank and it looked a bit ' one of the crowd ' in overall looks...although the headlight and cockpit looks good. Note all my comments are about the looks!, any negatives will be forgotten if it rides and handles well. And Chalk Two....the KTM 790R looks like it could be an excellent bike. The seating position is spot on and it just looks and feels good!. And it will be available before the Tenere. Long test rides and much You Tubing methinks! Steve
