This bike is completely 100% stock.
Filters/screens and oil were changed every 2500 miles w/ Motorex Cross Power 4T 10W-60

Asking $5800 OBO (Or Best Offer)

This bike is very rare & sought after and that is why the asking price is what it is. Uber light at 305 pounds dry with fully adjustable suspension and 63HP make for an awesome ride. Don't hesitate to shoot me any reasonable offers.

- New Front + Rear Brake Pads
- Front + Rear Brake Fluid Bleed/Flush
- Clutch Fluid Bleed/Flush w/ KTM clutch fluid
- New Pirelli Diablo Rosso II Front Tire

I have ALL maintenance-related records in a KTM bag. 

Bad:
Previous owner kept it outside so the plastics are faded and there is some minor rust. The stickers were removed albeit poorly. Overall, I'd give the exterior a 6/10. Mechanically, the bike is in great shape. However, it is prone to stalling when pulling the clutch in and coasting to a stop (common problem on these 690's). Likely a mapping issue and as long as you give the throttle a quick blip as you pull in the clutch the bike is completely fine. It didn't bother the previous owner and hasn't stopped me from riding it or bothered me enough to fix it.

Splashing through the summer on my RC8R

Wed, 18 Jul 2012

For sure the wet summer has curtailed my intentions of using my RC8R at every opportunity. That said I've had a fair amount mixed weather track time around the UK which has helped me bond with the big KTM. I've found riding at tighter twistier tracks like Oulton and Knockhill are more satisfying as the low down grunt and quick handling means you can stay with pretty much anything.

EICMA 2011 Preview: 2012 KTM Freeride 350 – Lightweight Entry Level Enduro Bike

Tue, 18 Oct 2011

  KTM has revealed a new lightweight entry-level off-road model with a claimed weight of just 99 kg (218 pounds). Set to debut at the upcoming EICMA show in Milan, Italy, the 2012 KTM Freeride 350 was created as an introductory model for off-road enduro riding. The Freeride 350 offers an easier entry point to off-road riding than the company’s competition-based EXC line.
