Has anyone seen this Machine before? Edit. sorry it is a 690 KTM

Look at the frame on this KTM. That doesn't look OEM to me. What is this thing and where did it come from?

I think that's a 690, but im not to sure. ive seen that fram set up before

 

[SnoFro]

Your right. I thought someone had built their own frame around a street bike engine.

It is a KTM 690

Nice bike , tube frames are hard to beat for strength but are more expensive .

This bike is gonna dish out a beating

Allen Mangum had a KTM 690 but now rides race 450's and enduro 500's. The 690 was just too heavy for the steep, deep, and tight.

Yup

Too heavy and not enough power. It weighs around 340lbs and only puts out about 70hp. Ktm really needs to rework the 690 duke/enduro like they did the 2016 Ktm 450 and 350. Add some power to it and lighten it up, then it would be a fun snowbike.

KTM would corner the snow bike market if they did that. Can you hear me KTM!

When looking at the KTM forums many are getting the 690 down to the 280-270 range & unlocking a fair amount of power. Another one I would like to see on the snow is the Husky 701. I agree they need to build a new 690.
