YEP!!


we considered the multi as well, but its back to having a second Ducati with all the associated stuff.

We bought KTM at start of September and have done 3k miles already.

Awesome bike!! It is so capable of covering everything. I have commuted on it - really easy to ride although a little wider than the 998!

We toured Scotland for 5 days with lugagge and it was brilliant on all roads, fast, single track and even slightly off road at one point (we won't go there)

It's been used for day out blasts which have included days with sports bikes and days out with proper super motos and it handled both just as well.

We have done motorway journeys and its been great.

You can pressure wash it!

The panels are dirt cheap if you drop it!

Servicing is reasonably priced

Bolt on accesories are reasonably priced

Rides really well with loads of grunt and plenty of get up and go

Handles well and suspension can be changed to suit your riding

Stonking brakes!

Downsides....

Above 90mph without tank bag gets quite windy!!

Seat is not fantastic, but you can get a gel seat. I have my own padding so not found it an issue tbh

Probably the best bike I have owned so far in terms of all round capability.
