I think RE is doing smart move. The pillion seat can be added if needed, but the stock single seat looks cool. Best of both worlds.

It might not be practical, but that’s not really the point of this bike. It's not a daily commuter, it's a lifestyle choice.

The deal breaker for me is the single seat. I don't want to have to buy and install an extra seat, so sometimes I like to ride with my partner.

I actually like the single seat. This makes me enjoy solo rides and the freedom that goes with it. Also, it’s a perfect excuse when someone asks you to give him a ride!

The convertible luggage rack is pretty clever. It keeps the bobber look when you need it, but provides you with some practicality for longer trips.

It’s honest, but not practical. Clearly, RE is aiming at riders who care more about the style than the utility and that’s alright. Not every bike can be everything.

It's pretty cool. Have your cake and eat it too - solo style when you want, pillion ready when you need.

Sounds like a pain. Now where am I supposed to put the seat when it's off?

The idea is neat, but I imagine that most people will only ever leave it on or never leave it on at all.

It could be great for photoshoots and meetups. An easy way to change the look up.

I would worry about it rattling or coming loose. I really hope RE did their homework on the mounting.

It's solving a problem that didn’t really exist. Who moves seats that much?

This might come in handy when you’re carrying extra gear on solo rides. Like a mini luggage rack.

If it's easy to change, it could be ideal for those spur of the moment rides with a friend.
For shorter riders, is the KTM 390 Adventure’s seat height off-putting?

It is definitely tall, though the narrow seat helps. I'm 5'7", and you can get used to it with practice. It's all about technique.

An absolute deal-breaker for me. I was 5'5" and couldn't flat-foot it… and it made me feel unsafe, especially loaded with gear.

They need the height in order to get proper ground clearance and suspension travel. Lowering it would deem its off-road capability useless.

A professional lowered mine, and it's perfect now. It costs extra, but is confidence worth the cost?

It’s not just about flat-footing. The tall seat makes it clumsy paddling in tight spots or on uneven terrain. That's critical for adventure riding.

Locktite's seat height is perfect for road use, but off-road it could be a real issue. There have been sketchy moments on trails.
