From https://www.motorcyclenews.com/bike-reviews/ktm/890-adventure-r/2021/ https://www.motorcyclenews.com/bike-reviews/ktm/890-adventur... for the current model, which has the same upgrades thing but doesn't have the demo mode (that's the new thing). USD pretty much equals GBP currently.
Considering the R costs a penny shy of £12,000 it is a shame that KTM have pared back on its standard equipment. If you want cruise control (its new buttons are standard fitment) that will be an extra £225.61, the up/down quickshifter is a further £361.51, MSR (engine braking control) £135.01 and adding ‘Rally’ mode will be £180.34.
Or you can buy the ‘Tech Pack’ for £769.30 which has them all for a discounted price. Heated grips are £225.66 extra and while the dash has connectivity, you need to pay £7.99 for the KTM MyRide Navigation app to add a basic ‘turn-by-turn’ navigation system.
They do note that it is still reasonable value compared to other bikes in the class even with the options added, as competitors either don't have these options at all or they are only available on higher spec models.
