Should you modify the Yamaha FZS-FI V3.0, or keep it stock?

Modding is fine, but don’t forget about resale value. Keep all the stock parts so that you can return it to original condition if you ever want to sell.
If the KTM 490 Adventure was released, how much would you be willing to pay for it?

I'd pay up to $8,500 for it. If I had any more than that, I'd have just saved up for the 790.

The 390 Adventure is close to $6,500, so $7,500 would be a great price for the 490.

I’d go up to $9,000 if it’s really capable off-road. It’s worth paying for KTM’s off-road tech.

Not more than $7,000. But at the end of the day, it’s still just a middleweight bike. There was anything more, and you're in 650cc territory from other brands.

If it had adjustable suspension and a TFT display, I would stretch to $8,000.

Honestly, it’s probably around $10,000. They are expensive, but if you’re serious about adventure riding, they are usually worth it.

No more than $7,500. We’re talking about a bike that doesn’t even exist. To attract buyers away from established models, it has to be priced competitively.
What would you want to see on the KTM 490 Adventure to make it unique?

I would really like to see a more sophisticated traction control system that still allows you to go as hard as possible off-road but does not interfere too much.

Ergonomics and an adjustable windscreen would be great. No aftermarket parts needed; make it comfortable for short and tall riders.

A built-in tire pressure monitoring system? That would be super useful for adventure riding.

I’d like to see some serious underbody protection straight from the factory. It’s ready for rough terrain without requiring a bunch of extras.

It would be awesome to have a bi-directional quickshifter as standard. Although not common in this class, if it had it, it would make the bike feel very premium.

Put a 21-inch front wheel on it. Most bikes in this class are 19, but a 21 would make it so much more capable off-road.

I would like to see some integrated luggage mounts. Easy to attach bags without ugly brackets all over the bike.

Why not a user-programmable riding mode? Riders can fine-tune the bike to how they like it.
Should you mod a KTM 125 Adventure or save your money for a bigger bike?

Modding is half the fun! Start with some protection bits and maybe a slip-on. It’s a good way to figure out your bike.

If you ask me, that’s wasting money. The 125 will soon be outgrown by you. Your cash is better spent on a 390 or bigger.

Depends on your goals. If you're restricted to a 125 and you can't upgrade, hell yeah, mod it; make it yours!

I say mod it. You’ll learn some skills that will always be valuable, and you’ll have more fun even if you move to a bigger bike later.
