My dad doesn't want to buy me a KTM or the associated Husqvarna brand because, in his time, they apparently only sold machines that needed repairs, or the things break down very quickly.
I want to get an enduro, but I can't find a brand that fits my dad and that I still like.
That's why I wanted to ask if I can get an (a2) enduro machine without having to worry about high repair costs.
Do you have any experience with KTM?

Loading...MT-07 throttled to 48hp 🙂
So…I got a Stage 6 Replica Mk 2 for my scooter and installed it, but then it died during a test drive with a rattling and grinding noise…then I changed the cylinder, piston and cylinder head, but now it only pulls uphill at 10 and the revs are too high…the spark plug is still good,…
Hello, I recently bought a set of supermoto rims for my KTM Exc 125 2000Bj (probably from an LC4). The rim fit straight away at the back, but the axle diameter at the front is 17mm and my original axle has a diameter of 20mm. Can I turn my original one down to 17mm or…
Hello, I think the Bus Simulator is quite nice, but I'd like to do the same thing with a motorcycle. It's important to me that there are traffic signs, etc., just like in the Bus Simulator, so I can learn for future driving school. It's not meant to be a racing game.
I got my Class B driver's license six months ago. Now I want to take the A2 license. As far as I know, there's a rule that the theory test is valid for one year. So, my car test should still be valid. Normally, you have to complete six basic and four specialized lessons for…
Whenever that was (20 years ago I heard similar things in Motocross Sport), it has nothing to do with today’s road-fitting machines.
My Duke 2012 Duke 690 (the same engine had as the Enduro R) was absolutely reliable. And I squeezed them on the race track.
Mine had still been a keihin flat slider on it 🥴🍷 never what.
Never drove Enduro machines, but with my Ktm Duke 390 I never had problems.
A friend of mine has a Husaberg and says that these are relatively needy, apart from being difficult to get. Many cross-machines are also not road-admissible or only conditionally and halfway deadly.
No, I find myself very good. Owned 2 KTM’s and is my favorite brand to date. Unfortunately, always a bit expensive…
A real A2 Enduro does not currently build KTM when you look off the 690 “Enduro”.
The EXCs can be forgotten on the street.
KTM is now as reliable as other brands. Depending on the engine, they are much more expensive. Service is extremely expensive at KTM, so the single cylinders do not last forever.
This is less KTM than the single cylinder itself.
Can you recommend anything?
Not really. I don’t see much sense in an enduro on the street.
Maybe something like a Yamaha tenere 700 but otherwise less.
My father-in-law ran a Aprilia with rotax engine: 80,000. Why should a single-cylinder engine keep less?
Actually, Excs aren’t so bad for the road you would have to upgrade them to supermoto and that have to enter itself one and it makes a huge fun on supermoto
the EXC is a competitive machine. she was never meant for the streets. extreme maintenance is specified. And with that you are exactly where your father wants to nciht you. Because then the prejudices of your father vote in front and back. In addition, an EXC for enduro sports and on the road is only extremely throttled (they only have a road permit because it prescribes the FIN for sport. )
For driving on the road, ex is the worst machine you can get.
Exc is not as good as a complete road machine, but still. Enduro is both road and offroad. I’m driving myself ne enduro (aprilia rx 125)
the only one that comes to you in the KTM election is the 390 Adventure R .
The whole EXC are not road machines and clearly fall into the troubled things of your dad.
No I also drive on gravel roads or all, because of this during a mix between cross and road machine super. And that’s ne enduro. You don’t have to like:)
Not more. Once matured/ had a 690 sm. Zero problems. What does your father want? Nen Reis Kocher? 🥴
He is bmw motorcycle reperateur, but he thinks that ktm has improved because ktm was made really bad at his time
who says
So my bmw gs wasn’t better than the ktm. As the duc already.
No.
