    Not at all, every time Brett gets on here some wanker or collection of wankers gives him shit about his spelling & punctuation. As someone who knows him it pisses me too.

    I think it's fucken sexual and I'd love to be in a position to put my name on one myself.

    I'd also like to think there's more than 7 on the way due to the level of interest. You may be right though, as I don't have any customers keen to put a deposit down until at least a price is confirmed.

    Can I have a ride on yours please 1KTM?

    They're probably limited because they can't build more sooner.

    i was reading in some mag that it is more road bias and less off road bias than the 990/950's

    Very nice bike. My neighbour has one. Uses the same ECU as my Tiger. Tune ECU is free software and well worth a look, once you are up and running.

    Good luck

    touché. I'll wait to see what the 800 looks like thanks. Haven ridden a 950 more power, especially the way a KTM delivers it, is not a good thing for an ADV ride. Not sure if the 1190R is heavier or not but obviously that won't help either.

    Now if we are talking about a competitor to the BWM GS, the new S10, etc i.e. a road bike (did I say that out loud ) then looks awesome.

    Cheers R

    It would be a great mount for the "Dusty Butt" NOT!!!!!

    In my humble opinion we "Adventure Riders" don't need more hp in the way of cc's give me Torque

    I would like to see say a 700 single!!! Yea

    You don't think the 1190 is going to put out more torque than the 990?

    It looks gorgeous. Unfort with my limited riding skills i could never use that power, my 990 has way more power than I ever use.

    Can't wait to see one though.
