    Well we went to MCR in Dunners and are taking possession of a RE Interceptor with an Orange Crush petrol tank..

    I was surprised how well the bike went considering they're a LAMS bike, I certainly wasn't underwhelmed....

    I guess being half the weight of an Electraglide makes them pretty nimble....

    Yeah but it's probably got the HP of an Electraglide as well

    I actually fancy one of those - I'm be really interested in your impressions of it on the road.

    These look interesting as well

    Will do Paul.

    The test ride on the GT model showed me: it had more torque than I anticipated, it braked really well, handled very nimbly.

    The six speed will be handy - and the centre stand.

    Only negative was non cancelling indicators - and the fact that both green arrows on the 'dash' blinked at the same time regardless of which direction you were indicating - I kept thinking I had somehow turned on the hazard lights.

    Talk to an auto-sparky. They might find a way to alter that for the best. You probably know a few.

    Worth asking about though.

    On a low cost bike I would expect that but on a KTM?

    I guess I got spoilt by the Harley indicator system with automatic cancelling after coming out of an intersection/ when overtaking etc - and having such large indicator switches.
