The 690 SMC is my everyday bike. Bought it new in 2011, now 92.000 km on the clock and still going.

[@TeslasSecret]

Fantastic ! Got any troubles along the way ?

[@PhilTonic]

@@TeslasSecret Had to change the cam shaft once and the rocker arms twice. Not a big deal.

[@TeslasSecret]

@@PhilTonic Thanks for replying. Great to hear, I’m thinking about getting one as a frequent use second bike.

[@usernameEvanT]

Did you ever rebuilted the motor?

[@PhilTonic]

@@usernameEvanT One cam shaft and two rocker arm replacements. That's it.

Gibernau's casual knee down, one handed advice whilst looking over his shoulder. I feel guilty for all those years of cheering as Rossi played dirty with him.

weird that there is now 3 KTMs, all competing for the same markets. 690 ktm, 700 husky and now this. I wonder if they will bring out the husaberg name to do the 4th iteration of the same bike

[@Terraceview]

Always nice to hang out at uncle Sete's place. Great review, I like the bike.

[@cozi_mieras634]

I am always happy to see Al doing those effortless wheelies :D Also nice to see manufacturer like Gasgas getting back on road bikes. But as i said before, I really miss those 'Two guys on the couch' reviews Al did with Chris in the past. Review like this is great watch, dont get me wrong, but it is in a vacuum. Then there was dialog, asking and answering question, it gives some substance to a bike then there is some actual comparison. Nice spanish views, tasty food and awesome time on track is for reviewers. Its nice to watch but it does not say anything. As Al was saying : - "nobody makes sh!t bikes anymore". So I would like to see some comparisons why this is better or worse? What are the numbers? Is it only red? I understand that SM700 is just another ktm in different color, and maybe there is nothing to have conversation about. I still comming back to videos like : 2021 GSX-S1000, 2021 Kawasaki zx-10r+rr, M 1000RR, KTM 790 Duke, 2017 R6 reviews, Ducati scrambler Sixty2 etc. I think that these are second best content after all the BBBs content. Cheers and much love.

[@woweeoi11]

Excited for the future of Gas Gas, perfect opportunity for them to jump into the road legal market she looks good in red! Enjoy the TT Al good luck to Boothy

[@plllot9713]

10:44 this is how I dropped my bike first time on the road after 6 years of riding. got myself a supermoto, I was just riding in Lake District and suddenly my front just let go and there I was sliding on the tarmac. I'm not sure what I did wrong, I walked back to where I dropped it and skid marks started right after a slight dimple in the road so I'm guessing that plus a bit worn front tyre and me being a t*at caused the crash. luckily no harm. [update] a month after I wrote the above, I took my SM to the Alps. first ride after arrival I headed straight to Stelvio Pass (I stopped in Livigno so it was a 60km ride). started climbing the pass from the Bormio side. got to the hairpin section and after a few hairpins I was taking a left turn going a little wider for the cars coming down and again, no clue what happened there, my front just tucked I was on the ground bike skidding on the tarmac. I really enjoy riding them supermotos but I think they're much more demanding than your normal road bikes. I used to rip through those hairpins on Stelvio on my Tracer 900 doing them much faster and never ever had I dropped the bike. weird, very weird.

[@Titaniumparts]

"The closest thing we've got to this in the UK is Cheddar Gorge"... well, plus an awful lot of superb roads in Wales, if you know where to look for them.

They'll sell well in Spain and other euro countries, make the brand some cash, give them a presence in the market and maybe in a couple of years they'll bring out another model that owners can step up to. Probably an adventure dually like a Tenere style would be on brand.

why another 700, I just don’t get it. In the SM streetlegal world there is a huge gap between 125 and 700 cc

[@willspeakman2461]

I never understood why they didn't make a super moto using the 390 engine. Could of been a modern drz400

[@codenamenoob4973]

I feel that they've refined the 701/690/700 to such a degree that they're very boring to ride for a supermoto, the engine lacks character in stock tune and the motor doesn't have that punchy feeling a single cylinder should give you yes they're very fast and handle amazing but riding my dad's 701 back to back with my old school 660 SMC I don't feel any urge to change

[@veedubgeezer]

They're built to a compromise, for sure. They're built to be used daily with realistic servicing intervals. You can still build a 500 EXC-F into an SM. It's a similar affair with the Enduro. No one will be able to ride at 690/701 Enduro at an Enduro. I'd be surprised if they're even that great greenlaning.

[@paulvanhout9695]

@@veedubgeezer - I have the 2019 690 here in the USA and it has been a fabulous lightweight adventure bike. I have tackled some fairly challenging terrain and the 690 handles it with no issue. Yes, an EXC would be more competent off-road but the 690 much more tolerable on the pavement and a reasonable compromise.
