2010 ktm 990 smr

[10bikekid]

Don't get me wrong, if I could afford to get both ... no prob, the SMR is a weapon, if I sell I sell if not then no biggy as we are away at the end of next year anyway for one year adv road trip from bottom of South America to Alaska over a 1 year (ish) trip

Looked at the 990, nearly 30 kg heavier and WAY too tall for me bein a short ass.

Anyway, that is where I am at, if I don't sell I will still keep chewing up tar and enjoy her.

800GS is not as light as the propaganda suggest at 210 kg without fuel in fact they may be heavier than the 990, It is probably true that the power would be more manageable but I suspect the suspension would be inferior though

And ones Ive seen in real life seem every bit as Big and tall as a 990 but I will do some more research on that for interest sake

OK, read your posts etc, do you want to buy the SMR? if not light up a F800 v KTM thread somewhere else.

Only downside is you expect all bikes to handle like it, ruining you in the future.

This is the same with my '05 Super Duke
Any big KTM rocks but my SD makes the ducati and GSXR feel like pigs in comparison
This one looks real yummy...and if Hitcher says it was a pleasure to ride, well then consider it would be godly to most people.

Wish I could afford it............................

Not bein rude just saying the classifieds is probably not the correct place to start a KTM v GS comparo or scrap.

So I take on board what you say and you take on board what I say, have look at your posts and anyone would think you are selling KTM, you don't have to convince me how good the SMR is as I already know first hand I just want to change my direction of riding and the bike I ride .

So sorry if I offended you ... now get your cheque book out ..

I was going to suggest that since the KTM Adventure was not as different in weight and seat height to the F800GS as you may have thought that you might do OK to go back to KTM and do a deal but hey you obviously know what your doing after spending all that money on the wrong bike

It was just trying to give a bit of unappreciated fellow biker help, shezz

Dude you need help, so look in all honesty I appreciate your love and affection and guiding lights but at 44 I reckon I am old enough to steer myself in the right direction so yeap cheers for you input.

Now, if anyone IS interested in the SMR it is up for sale.
