Well after some time away from bikes I decided I needed another in my life. Being a GSX-R nut over the years and owned a few of them. The last one being a K5 1000. Most of the guys I ride with have sold their sports bikes and bought the likes of the GS 1200 Adventure. Not being my cup of tea I opted for the KTM. An upright lunatic. It’s not delivered yet but I’m waiting on it arriving on the 7th of June. I honestly can’t wait to get some miles on it.

Very similar bud. Cracking choice. How was the GP1r for fitting? That’s my next mod when it arrives. I’ve also pm’d you on the ktm forum too I’ve a Puig screen for it as well it’s slightly bigger and tinted. ____________________ Riding a motorcycle is like living in a video game where people are trying to kill you. |

Ridden my friends one twice. Awesome bit of kit well out of my budget tho. Its like a GS adventure but with much more capability in faster corners.
Also KTMs have been much more reliable in recent years, out of the guys i know a 1290R on 40K + miles
1290 super adventure S on 14K miles
1190 adventure on 32K miles
RC390 on 15K miles
All with no major issues, that said all the bikes are still imo still basically "new" how they will be in ten years is another issue. ____________________ 2014 Aprillia dorsoduro 750 factory. |

The Akra wasn’t very noisy and a pain in the tits to get the baffle out where the nut is so close to the wheel. AR can is on and it sounds amazing!! I actually jumped turning it on in the garage ____________________ Riding a motorcycle is like living in a video game where people are trying to kill you. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 5 years, 324 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
