    Happy birthday Gremlin! Any joy with KTM yet? I know it's your rant thread, but I had never dealt with AMPS before, and I was treated pretty well. Well, at least I think I was, I hadn't heard about KTM margins at the time.

    Anyway, I had brought my bike in for it's first service (3 hours. Barely home and back) and my salesman said that rather than wait around for two hours, why not take the RC8 out for a spin?

    Yeah, why not? Funny, it was like the bike KNEW the way to Kaukap!

    Anyway, if you haven't sorted your bike out yet, give them another try.

    Nope, no response yet... will chase him up in the next couple of days -to be fair to the sales guy that was handling the organisation of the demo, he was only due back at work today (12th) - except work is now getting busy, got a few deadlines on projects to meet etc, 3 weeks ago was sweet, hence the looking at bike.

    Glad you had a good experience tho. oh... and I refused point blank to sit on the rc8.... I'm trying to get out of sportsbikes... not blow 30k

    Nope. Me either. I had no intention of buying it. But what a way to blow a couple of hours! Better than a waiting room.

    Personally, I would still refuse to ride it... Just don't want to know what its like and I hear its pretty good.

    Sportsbikes baaaaad, they rip your license from your hands... evil-ler than drugs dontcha know

    Yeah I'd second that about recontacting AMPS & talk to Bruce Saunders.SeppoDave, Bruce is a prick like that.I see it didn't have the Akrapovic fitted when you took it for a ride either.Was speaking to Bruce yesterday & he was asking when I was up that way next, I think he's trying to get me hooked now it's fitted with the new exhaust system
    As mad as a spider, and twice as hairy !
