ZMC, I came very close to buying a GW250 a couple of weeks ago and may still buy a new one yet. I have been looking and reading all of the literature and posts on the 650NK and was ready to pull the trigger on this bike now that I just returned from the U.S. but realize that without hiring a good upholsterer for a custom seat configuration, my lady will struggle with more than a 30 minute ride. Dilemma: enough power, semi-passenger comfort, reliability. I also know that the TR and the GW250S has more creature comforts but just isn't appealing in other ways.

Is the CF-Moto/KTM JV the producer of the anticipated adventure bike discussed on this forum?

Well, I think I may be forced to do what every other serious rider does on this forum, buy at least 2 Chinese bikes.

Looking forward to your continued report on the NK and photos.
