It’s nice to have, but I wonder about its durability. It is expensive to replace digital clusters if they fail.

Makes sense as a way to increase the price tag. Half those features most commuters won’t use.

It's a smart move. It makes the bike feel more modern and more premium.

I’d rather have a fancy cluster or better build quality, I’d rather have ABS.

It's future-proofing. Soon, digital clusters will be standard, Bajaj are just a little bit ahead of the curve.
Is the KTM 690 SMC R is it worth the premium price over Japanese supermotos?

Absolutely worth it. In this category, the power and tech you get blow anything from Japan away.

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

It depends on what you want. If you're supermoto serious, there is no league to the KTM.

I'd say no. However, performance gains are not worth the cost of reliability issues.

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

Most riders don’t need it. Unless you’re hitting the track regularly, save your money and get a Japanese bike.

If you’re just commuting, it’s not worth it. However, if you’re after the ultimate supermoto experience, it’s the way to go.

I regret buying mine. I spent more time working on it than I did riding it. I should have stayed with reliable Japanese bikes.

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.

The technology itself justifies the premium. The 690 SMC R has ABS, traction control, and ride modes to make it a much more versatile, street-friendly bike.
