Way back in Nov 2017 the 790ADV was revealed as a concept bike at the EICMA bike show in Milan, Italy. Two days later I walked into my local KTM dealer to put a deposit on one. Of course the sales guy looked at me and said, "A KTM 7... what?". Not surprising that most people are not as passion about ADV bikes as others. I said, "KTM 790 ADV-R. It's coming sometime and I want to be first on the list when it is officially announced". Basically, shut up and take my money.

Fast forward 19 months and I got the first KTM 790 ADV-R at my dealer and one of the first in the country.

I've started plotting and planning already and have some ideas for cool useful parts already. Stay tuned for updates!
