RUST magazine: Rust#7
RUST magazine: We’ve a heartfelt – and revealing – report direct from David Knight on the end of his pro career, and where does he go from here…? We take a long and thorough look at KTM and their mid-capacity adventure bikes, the 640 and the 690, and ask (again) where’s the 690 Adventure? Staying with adventure, Michelin have sprung on us a new rugged adventure tyre – we like the look. And our man in France, Chris Evans, finds life after Dakar is actually rather busy…
