Default you can never have to many.....

Seems I'm the new owner of another bike.........

08 model with 5k miles on it; what would be called "fully loaded" and mint (I've been to see it already), exactly the same as the 09 model and with the extras it'd come out at about £12k brand spanking
probably pick up Sunday







Cheers Mark

Schwing!!!!!


Very nice bike, those Akra evos are a grand by themselves!!!


Is that a carbon tank? If so be aware KTM pulled them due to chronic leaking problems...

Very nice bike, I cam within a gnats fart of buying one before I realised the speed of the 990 and the holligan geometry would make me do terrible terrible things...

it's not the carbon tank Mark, and the standard (which this is) is just a smidge less radical than the "R" version I test rode, but still not what you'd call relaxed....

Cheers Mark.

I've got a soft sticky spot.

Well done Mark! Very nice bike you have there. If you have any problem with your knee let me know and I'll chaeffeur you round on it.
