Is all that extra cost worth it for the KTM 890 Adventure R over the standard model for mostly street riding?

I own the R model and mostly ride street, so I kind of regret not getting the standard version. The extra features are cool, but I don’t really use them all the way.

It’s worth the R just for the looks. Plus, you never know what kind of terrain you may want to tackle. It is better to have the capability and not need it than to need it and not have it.

I would say save your money and get the standard model. Use that difference on some nice luggage or other upgrades that will actually benefit your riding style.

Even on the street, the R's suspension is a game changer. It takes potholes and rough roads, and it soaks them up like nothing else. I definitely think the extra cost is worth it.
Does the KTM 390 Adventure X make the trade-offs worth it when compared to the standard model?

Absolutely worth it! The same engine and frame are available at a lower price through the X model. Why do we need every single one of those fancy electronics? They’re just additional things that can break.

That really depends on your riding style. If you will be doing a lot of off-roading, the simpler setup of the X model may actually be a benefit. You're less worried when you're in the dirt.

Not worth it in my opinion. Cornering ABS and traction control are those safety features that really could save your bacon if you’re not the most experienced of riders. It would be more than worth it to pay extra for peace of mind.

If you want to build your own bike, the X is perfect. You don’t pay for features you may replace anyway, and you can grow your way up.

I think KTM made a smart move. Not all the bells and whistles are a must or a want for everyone. In this way, more people can afford adventure riding.

It’s definitely worth the extra cash. The display itself is a huge difference in the overall experience. And those Metzeler tires are much better than the MRFs.

I own the X, and I say it’s totally worth it. It’s more raw and connected without all the electronic aids. It's a pure riding experience.

At first I was skeptical, but after test riding both, I prefer the X. The lower seat height makes it so much easier in traffic and when stopping.

It's a tough call. I don't think the X is bad value, but I wouldn't be able to help myself wishing I had the features I didn't get. It might be worth saving up for the standard.

For a beginner, the X is perfect. You don’t get overwhelmed with features you may not use right away, but you get the same great chassis and engine. If you want, you can always upgrade later.
Should you pay the premium for the Bajaj Chetak 3501 TecPac over the standard model?

Absolutely worth it! Just the extended warranty gives me peace of mind. That extra coverage is gold, since EVs are still new tech.

Nah, save your cash. For 90% of the way there, the standard model is enough. Use the difference for a nice helmet or some accessories.

Depends on your usage. The larger battery in the TecPac is a game changer if you are commuting daily. No more range anxiety!

I chose the TecPac and kinda wish I hadn’t. While it’s nice to have the extra features, I don’t really use them. I should have gone with the base model.

This is all about future proofing. The resale value down the line will also be better with the TecPac. Think long-term!

If you’re just dipping your toes into EVs, the standard model is fine. If you're all in though, the TecPac is your best bet.
