Commuting on a KTM is brave!

Nice bikes though. Very confidence inspiring handling if it's anything like the 950 SM.

They're expensive, beautiful, and have fairly short service intervals iirc.

3 qualities I wouldn't want to commute on. It's a bit like commuting on a Ducati. Also being a big single I bet it mullers chains and sprockets well. Tank range is decent though.

Gorgeous bike though, and I'm sure you'll have a much more fun commute than I will!

A couple of places have suggested a service every 1500 miles. Although it seems a lot of owners will do oil and filter every 1000.

I'm not worried about chains and sprockets, I was more worried about engine rebuilds etc

Sounds good... just need to sell my gsxr superfighter now...
