Sorry to hear about this mark.
I'll keep my eyes open for you.

Mark, have a little pootle down the roads around yours and see if any of the businesses, pubs etc have CCTV outside. A few nice words and the narrowness of the time frame may persuade them to let you have a look at the tapes for any possible vans.

Unfortunately Clare nothing like that down my road and a main roads at either end, still the insurance girl was helpful, got to wait for the call back to go over the details.

Gutted for you.

All I can say is it was picked up by hand and loaded into a van. I have investigated loads of bike thefts and those caught on CCTV show a van, 2 people literally picking the bike up and loading into a van.
Takes 30 seconds at most. Hope you see her again mate x

that's what the insurance girl just said, all to common these days.

Makes me sick the bar stools. you can put all security on you want but when they do this it may as well be left with the keys in.

Ebay is the next thing to watch, don't want to stick knife in but most likely will be stripped and sold as parts. See if anyone local to you has listed Duke parts ;/

When I bought the SV they asked if I wanted an alarm fitted - cost about £350, reduction in insurance £14. Insurer said that if the bike is in the garage or overnight at work where we have locked gates and security men then an alarm wasn't worth having as if they really want the bike they just pop it onto a van, alarmed or not.

Are there any KTM or Duke forums where someone might try to sell the parts?

Sorry to hear this. What a bunch of lowlife scum

I really, really hope you get it back.

set yourself a search alert for parts on Ebay, it will email you whenever new parts arrive on the list.
