Yeah I've not got enough for a changeover yet after getting a new house a week ago, have been eyeing a 2nd hand Super Duke. Maybe I should ride both, but only late next year.
The only other thing is would it bite my GasGas sharing the same garage?
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

nah, KTM's don't bite (but it might cock a leg and pee all over it)

nah wouldn't consider a single. Did you ride the SDuke & decide on the SM? No point riding until can afford, too much temptation.
Only KTMs have ridden are the 200s. Liked it & would have bought one. . . If I hadn't ridden the GG.

I always ride lots of different bikes when i'm in the hunt (and even when I'm not).
When i bought the 640SM i rode buells, ducatis, honda's etc: the 640 was the most fun of all so i bought it.
wifey has her own bike but in the end we like to ride together on the same bike. not practical on the 640 so i rode a few more: Guzzi, Aprilia, Triumph, KTM's, MV Augusta etc
Nothing made me smile like the 950SM and was any use at all with a passenger so i bought it.
BTW: what is it with manufacturers and pillions? are all our girlfriends/boyfriends supposed to be 4'6" tall and 30kg?
Hell, my wife's only 5'1" and even she found the seat to footpeg distance tiny on every bike we rode except the guzzi and ktm

I rode the Superduke about a year ago and rode the Supemoto at the same time. Hated the Superduke and loved the Moto. The Superduke had terrible fuel injection and was hard to control (I understand KTM has listened to many who thought the same and made big changes in the latest model)
In the end the moto made me grin more than all the others and wifey would happily sit on the back seat

Your wifey aint too fussy where she sits mate
:slap:

I'd rather my bike suit me all the time, and be a pain in the arse the once in a blue moon that I carry a passenger.

Yeah I have an RF for when the wiff wants to pillion (the SP has no pillion seat anyway). But I had to extend the footrests forward & down. But the other thig was her leathers, we replaced a square out of the back of the knee with stretchy kevlar stuff. Mucho help.
Hmmm so ain't bad for pillions? Maybe I should ride one & swap the two roadbikes for one. . .
The RSV I was keen on some while back had very jerky injection, made it hard to be smooth, decided maybe I'm a '4' rider, but keen to try again.

most women would moan if you pillioned them in an armchair, it's in their nature.
make them walk.

nah she's totally cool with the addition of the no.1 rider comfort addition.
Heated vest.
Means she doesn't get cold & hence I enjoy not having to hear about how it's supposedly so cold.

That's pretty much what I've done and the same rationale.
Sold the XJR1300SP a little while ago. Great 2 up bike but a real whale to punt at speed.
The whale was for 2 up and the moto was for hoonin. Now the big moto does both.
Buy me a beer and ask for a ride, you might catch me at a weak moment

each to their own i guess.
i kinda like the feeling of a warn fuzzy pressed up against me................
Forum whore
what about the whale? what will she do for a beer?
