New bike

[Fester999]

I purchased this earlier, as I wrote off my bike in October.
Hopefully get it Saturday.
Although my Leon has broken, awaiting recovery, I think the cars miffed!

Looks awesome! May I ask what it is lol I'm not clued up on bikes... @Jairm88 is a fellow bike lover so I'm sure he would know lol

Bright colours and decals makes me assume it's a fast one haha

 

[Fester999]

It's a 1290 superduke r.
Silly fast, launch control, wheelie control, 10x drift settings.
All above my skill level!

It sounds like fun with equal amounts of fear haha I thought 1L was as big as bikes normally went haha

Does the safety tech actually work as you'd hope like wheelie control or does it make riding a little more interesting when it engages?

 

[Fester999]

I hope it works keep me shiny side up!

 

[Jairm88]

What a weapon!! It looks amazing.

I’m also part of the Ktm club but it’s not quite as fancy!!

 

[Fester999]

Nice m8. I've just realised my paddock stand won't fit, need a different one.
More expense!

 

[Jairm88]

Any excuse to spend money on bike related things

Did my course and test on a KTM 250. A lot lighter than the Harley 350s we had to use afterwards in the forces.

The Ktm is so much fun I enjoy it much more than my road bike atm.

I’ve been keen to have a ride on a Harley but I’m scared I’d like it lol

You’re not missing much mate - they’re bloody heavy and horrible for off roading which we did a lot of…..at night……with no lights……because that’s the military way! https://british-classic-motorcycles.co.uk/index.php/harley-davidson-mt350/

Haha looks like a beast!!!

Looks great, hope you got it ok, how does it compare to your old bike on the road, or are you waiting till better weather.

 

[Fester999]

I've only picked it up today.
It needs running in for 620 miles at a max of 5000 rpm, then a service.
There's more settings than a starship!
I will use it but not in crappy weather.
Tbf it's similar in size to my old bike but being a twin it behaves differently.

I think the car's just getting you ready for KTM life ?
