Excellent, hope it is ready by 2017 end.
re: KTM 390 Adventure Spy Shots
fantastic...hope..it..comes...in...2018
re: KTM 390 Adventure Spy Shots
In the first picture, the clutch cable connecting to the engine part design is completely different if you can compare with the duke390 engine. Even in the 690Enduro engine its different in this part of design. Also the aluminium swing arm in this test bike is way wider/bigger compared to the 690Enduro bike. We wish ourselves that this is the 390enduro, until we get assured news👍
re: KTM 390 Adventure Spy Shots
The package which is shown in pics looks really good. So far this has been confirmed by cycle world as well. The link is : SPIED: 2018 KTM 390 Adventure Bike | Cycle World
Now the points to be under consideration would be:
1. When is it being launched in India?
2. Pricing?
3. With Versys 300, how comparable will it be?
4. Tank Capacity?

re: KTM 390 Adventure Spy Shots
Well that looks good enough for an adventure motorcycle!
But given that KTM has confirmed the launch in 2019 to OverDrive:
Confirmed: KTM To Launch 390 Adventure In 2019 - Overdrive
..and BMW and Kawasaki is already ready with their contenders, I think KTM could be very late with the launch.
The RE Himalayan has brought a frenzy in the market with almost every manufacturer trying to get their hands on the relatively new, small capacity adventure bike segment. Now it is possible that given BMW's "GS" moniker, and the Kawasaki's twin cylinder engine, both could be priced well above 2.5 Lakhs. (Kawasaki definitely above 3 Lakhs.) In this aspect the adventure 390 could overthrow it's competition. Another worthy competitor which is already going on sell in Thailand very soon is the Honda CRF 250L Rally, but no word from Honda on its India launch till now.
Now with the quality problems on the much celebrated Himalayan, people are searching for a strong alternative right now. I sincerely hope that the need for such bikes does not die by the time these are introduced.

Well there are different news from different sources. I feel it will take at least a year more. It will be too late if ktm launches it in 2019. It should be fine if they launch it in even 2018 Q1. I don't think versys 250 will be anything below 3.5 lakh. Kawasaki is insane pricing their entry level motorcycles.
How different is BMW 310GS to BMW 310R? Did they work on suspension and seating position as well or its just stock 310R with a fairing?
