BO60BYS

Haha cheers fella its from a KTM dealership so trust is up there

So stumbled across two bikes i like the look of wondering what to do one is £5990 and is 56 miles away but it has 8600 miles and has a wings aftermarket exhaust the other is £5895 and is 96 miles away and only has 2206 miles with stock exhaust I'm just toying with the idea of is it worth traveling a bit further to get the lower miles bike at a lower price...... I'm thinking yeah. ?

Who needs off topic ?

C4 as in the explosive hahaha that escelated quickly .

Seems the KTM690 are harder to get hold of than i thought :/

Yeah the Vespa gang are still stuck in the mentality of MODS N ROCKERS, except the rockers moved on and the MODS are still NOBS i mean MODS.. i keep trying to reassure my self that there is fun to be had from poodling around, and then a S1000r pulls out next to me today in work and i remember how fast it go's through that box with the quick shifter.

I started to think is there fun to be found from doing speeds slower than WARP SPEED Looking at vespa riders and people who just plod around i started to wonder what kind of enjoyment do they get from riding because at one point i only ever got a buzz from being on the edge every second i was on the bike. Thats why i want the KTM 690 because its far from slow can still do 130 and its pokey pokey fun

Ill buy him two crates for £18 from tesco if he wants to do mine

I have no words for you so this will be my last reply to you.

That only in the past 10 years or so have young people being really targeted by insurance companies and most of you on here are old. Not saying I'm the only one so jump of your high horse.

Yes because if it wasn't mandatory then the insurance companies would be in competition so the prices wouldn't be extortionate, most of you won't understand but i started driving at a young age and iv been at the brunt of high prices for the last 6 years.

I have been told i come across intimidating to anyone working on my car haha i only have one small mark on my alloys and that was done before i took ownership and its only a 3/4mm rub mark.

I fully clean and strip back my alloys for new tyres and i also photograph all 4 wheels face and back and make them aware of any damage and get them to mark it down on a walk round sheet. Needless to say no damage here.

I really hate insurance companies. Captive market able to charge whatever they want due to it being the law to need it.

Only bike i dont ride as much any more the jobs really knocking being on the road out of me so just looking for something to commute on and have some wheel fun .

Kinda reiterates in my head why i never posted in this sub section haha.

Dunlop Road Smart 2 or 3 (personally think the 2 is just as good as the 3) Michelin pilot road 3 or 4 (again two great tyres) i would stay away from Battlax they always ware uneven on the front and never felt very confidence inspiring. If you like to go that bit quicker get some ex track tyres Metlzeler ReceTecs £20 part worn (Basically done a warmup lap)

Thinking of getting the KTM 690 Enduro R with the sm trim so i can swap it and change it, started my biking career on off road bikes (4 years old with a pw50 working way up) and iv had sports and super sports bikes i just want something to have fun on now and not loose my license haha. Anyone got one? Had one? Fancy one? I originally was going to go for the CRF450 but the service schedule is to much i prefer to ride allot and for some distance as well. Thoughts please

You going to get launch control activated?

I can guarantee i don't hit speed bumps at 60 thanks

yeah i go for 4 wheel alignment with 4 new skins. and then get the tracking done when replace the two drive wheels

You can hit a speed bump and put your tracking out, its not set in stone, the ones garages use are around 1500 to 2000 with of kit i would rather pay 30 for the use of there gear
