Lily's pretty much covered everything, the seat is a bit hard over long distances but I bought the GEL seat which does help, there's plenty of luggage available for them from KTM branded (Givi) Top boxes to tank bags of various sizes.You get a 17ltr tank and if your not thrashing it out and out you'll get 10 miles to the litre so potentially 170 mile range from the miles we did round Scotland.Service intervals are less than a Ducati (4500-5000 miles) but are cheaper (minor service £150 major £350) so another winner there.Again with parts pretty much dirt cheap, complete seat unit plastics are 60 quid, side panels are 40 quid if you want to throw it down the road.Build quality and finish as good as any and you get a host of quality parts from brembo, white power etc, you even get radial brakes same as the 999.Other nice things that I haven't seen on other bikes are the quality of the toolkit and all the associated manuals you get a complete spares breakdown by part number and suggested suspension settings etc, nice little touches.Stock they're about 94bhp but with some jetting and airbox mods (no fuel injection here) you can squeeze another 10 out.The only thing lacking is wind protection but below 85 you're OK once you get above that you notice it, at a push you'll see around 125-130 on the clock not a rocket ship but you really don't need anymore than that on the road, and you'd be surprised how many sportsbikes can't keep up with you!!! |
