Don't buy a KTM.
Best Frenemy you could have!
I was going to say... I bet its a KTM...
And whats wrong with them? I reckon any other bike in my hands for the last year would either be broken or written off... Sure... it does now need a weld, and some of the bolts have fucked off for a better life...but they are replaceable and it is a big V-Twin.
Go awn hitch... its a KTM init? Which one?

Resale/trade in value is their downside right now.

You should put the instrument binnacle warranty claim in now.

The new KTM 990SMT is supposed to be good, that would suit Hitcher, all sorts of touring bits are available for this model, good suspension & brakes & KTM have supposed to have the fuel injection sorted now as well. If it goes anywhere as well as my 950 it would be great.

$24,000 before you start adding extras in NZ. That's a lot of dosh.

Its a lot of dosh up front... but compare to the competition? When I bought my 990 SM, it was 24k. Sportsbikes weren't a lot less. The KTM has brembo brakes, WP suspension and Marchesini wheels all round, and its good quality stuff. You can't come close to fitting all that kit to something else and come out for less dollars, and it all has a factory backed warranty of 2 years.
The SMT is a slightly better deal, as it has handguards, better seat etc, which weren't standard on mine, but the same price. Spent a fair bit on mine so far, with all the extras, but there is nothing else I would rather have, and its a fantastic package with massive capabilities.
Oddly enough, I was just thinking yesterday, I wouldn't have the SM or SMT stock, neither suits me. No idea what will be the eventual replacement either.
The dorsoduro 1200 looks promising, I find 600-800cc just a bit too small... but its an Aprilia...

Hitcher thinks so too. What, no demo?
