New Bike - KTM 690 SM LC4

[trevoriv]

After riding a ZX6R for 6 years I decided to get something a bit different and a bit more 'sensible' for the winter months. Turns out it isnt that sensible!

Perfect excuse to put something louder on. Also, if you're using it for commuting I would bring a bike cover with you as well. SM's and enduros are probably the most stolen bikes in the world and thieves loooove KTMs.

It won't be safe from colleagues like you found out That's one of the reasons I used a bike cover, I used to come out to find people had leant their bikes against mine due to there only being 3 bike racks (motorbikes use them too) so cyclists would share Have fun pedalling your bike home with flat tyres In the future when it happened it didn't matter as the cover protected the finish and also keeps people from noticing it.

Might just get a cheap lightweight cover
