So after a miserable couple of months including a large 4 figure uninsured vets bill to fix a new puppy and funding a first family holiday in nearly 4 years something had to give.
That something was the KTM sadly. With bills paid off I have about £8k (maybe stretch to £9k) to replace it.
I really liked the grunt (160bhp) so don't want to compromise on that. I really liked the comfort (heated seat and grips very old man). I really liked the centre stand (never thought I'd hear myself say those words in my early 30s). I really liked the QS. I really liked the riding position.
So the short list to replace is a DVT Multistrada 1200S, a 2015/16 S1000XR or right out of left field there seems to be reasonable deals on the newer Ninja 1000SX.
It needs to be comfortable. It'll only be used for commuting.
Those who have ridden / owned one - what's the SX like??
