Had a close look at te KTM range
 

Today I was mainly looking at............KTMs.

I saw a few of the newer ones. V. dissapointed with the Superduke in the flesh. Looks ace in the pics but quite ordinary up close. Also the one I saw was MATT orange :shock: . Perhaps it didnt do it justice. Monster type tubular frame.

The new 660 motard that Cloggsy has the pic of really IS very nice! I reckon it would be fab to ride. No demonstator at Fowlers tho :roll: This is probabl a 640...

And for aspirational short arses out there the 950 Adventure looks shorter to me. I still love that bike.

So if your in Bristol get down to Fowlers and take a look as they have the range.

Oh and another bike that looks lovely in pics and doesnt do it for me in the flesh is the new Triumph sports tourer, cant remember the name. ALthough its meant to be a VFR beater it doesnt have the llooks for me.

Sorry, this possibly should be in Idle Banter. Its a somehat pointless post. Sorry no one to chat to about bikes this eve :cry: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I like the Super Duke. There was one at Poole Quay last night. Really nice but some of it looks a bit Lego or Fisher Price, particularly the clocks and mirrors.

There were a couple of those Trumpets at the quay as well. Not my cup of Darjeeling TBH, but each to their own.

Are you getting bored with the Bimmer already Rich?

Rich I had a sit on the Super Duke a couple of weeks ago. Did not over impress me with it's presence either.I am led to believe though that the beauty is in the riding of one of them.They are a real hooligans machine. They will stick with anything in the bends and ,if wheelies and the like are what floats your boat then they are perfect! (however I am glad I bought what I did and cancelled my test ride on the Duke!) :lol: 8)

Is that the Sprint ST or something like that, has 3 seperate underseat exhausts ?? I think...

Way of things, isnt it.

Is it me, or is Rich wearing an over-size helmet?

Hmm....looks odd doesnt it :?


Perhaps Ill get another avatar.

its not that, you like you are trying to stare us all out :shock:

Yoda wins. He uses the force don't you know!
