I don't want to deal with the flaking cases on a monster and the inevitable break down of it from riding it through winter ... The KTM is more durable and you can walk up and start it, treat it like poo, pressure wash it even! I've posted on the KTM forums and it looks as though there haven't been too many issues with them - nothing to be too concerned about certainly.

Unfortunately at this stage I can't afford a car and a bike ... but to be honest, the car club option looks much better to me anyway.

Fairey snuff, consider me greenhouse in need of some replacement panes:D

Car club looks interesting option, for occassional car use.

Ray.

Well, I've decided to buy the KTM.

However, I've also decided that I can't afford to do that just now so I think I'm going to get a CB500.

The beauty of that is if I choose next year I can take WJB on at his own game, and get whooped likely! But it would be a giggle :D

Thanks for all the comments.

620 Multi and you could play in DD

Too much money Mike, and it would disintegrate through winter! :D

Run my multi through 2 winters 42,000 miles no problem. Pressure wash once a week. Spray with scotoil protector. Hard luggage for shopping etc much better than a car. Go on Tony you know you want to.

You've made the right choice, buy the KTM as soon as you can, you won't regret it.

I still can't make it past the too much money bit mate!

I can feel the maniacal grins already!

:D

Now the big decision orange/black or just black :D

BLACK, unless it cheap, says the man who bought a silver KTM coz it was cheap.:D

My thoughts exactly :D

Bloody copycat! ;)

:lol:

Perhaps! But not for a while anyway :(

You copied Claire:devil:

Hello???

hows about this :Buy a onda cg125 never brakes down in any weather and cost so little resale value after its trashed is not an issue plus you save so much money you can buy a half decent car!!!!
