It would be used for primarily a woods bike, fire roads, rock gardens, a little bit of pavement ect. just like my "lightened" xrl650 is being used for. The 690r might hide its weight well, but 305 lbs dry is still a bit on the heavy side for me. It appears it would not be too difficult to trim 15-20lbs off it though.
The 690 Enduro R is a 67-horsepower, 340-pound dual-sport bike that can eat up any abuse on the road or off. Read how it performed on a 200-mile ride through sand, mud and single track, and how it compares to other bikes in its class.
The KTM 690 doesn't have a rear subframe, instead the structural support for the rear of the bike is formed by the molded plastic gas tank. This means that you can't carry much weight on it, so to alleviate this the aftermarket luggage rack attaches down to where the passenger footpegs would have been.
