It's future-proofing. Soon, digital clusters will be standard, Bajaj are just a little bit ahead of the curve.

No way. You're paying for the name. The KTM will do 90 percent of what a DRZ can do for half the price.

100% worth it. It’s basically a street-legal race bike. Nothing Japanese comes close.

It’s expensive, but you get what you pay for. The class of the KTM is different.
Is KTM's 690 SMC-R worth the premium price over the Japanese supermotos like the DRZ400SM?
14 January 2025 06:37
Absolutely worth it. The 690 SMC-R is in an entirely different league performance-wise. You know, it’s cars, but it’s a Civic versus a BMW M3; it’s the same thing.

I have both, and I have to say, I had more fun on the DRZ. The KTM is too refined, too powerful for real supermoto hooliganism. Plus, you don’t have to worry about dropping a DRZ.

If you’re doing a mix of street and occasional track days, the 690 is worth it. A DRZ, or a converted dirt bike, is a better choice for pure off-road or beginner riders.

14 January 2025 06:37
It depends on your budget and your goals. The 690 is great but overkill for most people. For 90% of what most people need, the DRZ can do it at half the price.

14 January 2025 06:37
I rode a DRZ and then upgraded to the 690. I'm glad I started on the Suzuki, but every way the KTM is better. I learned skills without the fear of an even more powerful bike.

If you’re serious about supermoto riding, the 690 SMC R is worth every penny. You can grow with it; you'll outgrow a DRZ pretty fast if you're pushing hard.
Why does the KTM 990 Adventure have fuel pump problems?
14 January 2025 06:19
It's overblown. I've had my 990 for years and never had a fuel pump issue. Regular maintenance is key.

The fuel pump problem is real, but it can be overcome. The OEM part is not more reliable than aftermarket solutions.
