Isn't there a new MT-07 as well?
2021 New Bikes and Updates
- Thread starter Johndicezx9
- Start date
The new Grom seems strange to me, like it's and update to gen 1(looks only). Seems like this one should've been the gen 2, and the current one should've been gen 3.
That Trail 125 is calling my name, but I just got a dirt bike, so I'll pretend it doesn't exist for now....:hand

Where are you all pulling updates from? I used to look to Intermot / EICMA for the manufacturer launch days, now it seems to be instagram releases each day for a manufacturer, with manufacturers alternating weeks?
Saw everything so far in this thread, waiting to see if KTM updated the SDGT / 1290 SA-S / launched a 1290 SM-T or 890 SM-T, and of course awaiting the shitheel-pisspot-19"-front-wheel-only-new-Multistrada. Not bitter. Not a bit.

I always thought that was the charm of the Speed Triple... :dunno
I'll hold out judgement til the finished bike is intro'd.

Gawd, that tank, that saggy back, those awful wheels, that headlight that's 6" too high--smh. Yamaha's design team is way off in left field. I've been wanting an FZ/MT09 for years but they've been through three generations of the bike now and all three make me throw up in my mouth more than a little.

The upcoming KTM small displacement parallel twin range gets my vote:
KTM 490 Duke
KTM RC 490
KTM 490 Adventure
KTM 490 Supermoto (490 SMC/SMT?)
KTM 490 Enduro (490 ECX?)

Noob!
A 490 enduro you say? I'm intrigued!

A 490 twin cylinder enduro, I say! Should split the difference between your DRZ and Hyper nicely.
I've lusted after the Aprilia SXV supermotos for years, but those engines are so highly tuned they're grenades waiting to go off. 490 SMC for me plz!

KTM has me really confused...
Are they sunsetting the 790's? what will happen to the 390s if they launch 490s? Seems like a lot of models with very minimal variations. Don't get me wrong, I love the new 890 Duke but if I had bought a 790 a year ago, I would've been pissed!

Mr. Dual Sport Rider
I bought a 790 at the end of last year and I'm still totally happy with it and not even the slightest bit tempted by an 890. Mine has all the power I could want and I'm not interested in any more added weight, even if it is supposed to be only 13 pounds.
I think it's pretty cool that the 490 will be a twin. Everything from 690 on down has been a single up to this point. I have nothing against singles (my Honda is one), but I expect a 490 twin will make a better adventure bike. And I'm real curious what a 490 enduro would be like.

There are rumors of an FZ750 styled bike that is the works...

Check out the 360* view on Yamaha's website. The tank looks like it has a flare at the top, and not in a cool, sculpted Brutale or Super Duke 1290 kind of way either. More like a malignant growth.

That's a lot of switches...

I just wanna see the dyno plot.
Kawi is allegedly coming out with a KLR replacement, a 700 Twin...
And Honda an 850 Africa Twin
:dunno
If they actually do a smaller displacement Africa Twin they should call it a Transalp, obviously.
