The 690 is too tall for my 30" inseam, but the 500 EXC is about 3" taller; utterly ridiculous for my reach, both on and off road. I would have no worries whatsoever about using the 500 EXC as a full-on dualsport, putting as many street or secondary highway (65-ish MPH ambient traffic) miles on it as I do my 690.

Other than that get the 1090 only if you're single cause these evil Austrian bikes have the tendency of becoming mistresses and life long love affairs. The KTM 390 Adventure has an advanced electronics package. I believe ABS and traction control are important on touring-oriented bikes. If you do long days in the saddle, sooner or later you’ll be riding tired, or in bad weather, or on sketchy road surfaces, or you’ll be confronted by a situation (crazy driver, suicidal deer) . . . or maybe even all of those scenarios at the same time. . 493 67 319 350 395 468 174 312
