Its a lot like the 990 with the gas tanks all the way down the sides. I think it'll make it feel quite a bit lighter if that's the case. I'm hoping they'll manage to make it weigh around 350 lbs. Not sure about that headlight though. They took that look from the 1290 super adventure

F 750 and 850 GS.
Sounds a lot better and seems likes it has a better throttle response.

KTM has the 790 Duke specs on their page. The 790 Adventure R has the same engine so the specs should be pretty close: 104HP and 372lbs
