One meticulous owner from new (Me)
All manuals, keys, documentation, original KTM bag, MOTs, purchases paperwork, supplied.
The Speedo reads 34400 miles. At approx 28000 miles the engine had a precautionary overall.
See pictures for condition of engine and parts replaced. £1500+ spent on engine and chassis refresh. I have a cost and parts used spreadsheet with pictures of the rebuild.
At the same time of the engine overall, I decided to have a freshen up of the wheels and frame powder coated them Black
The work was carried out by KIY (KTM guru)

still waiting for a call from jim aim to get mine.

Can't afford it. Too much to have sat in the garage for less than 10 outings a year.
The 749 is crippling me though. 2 trips out and wrists and back are killing me.
Can't believe I thought it would be OK 🤦♂️

There are too many fast sharp handling fun bikes out there with comfort thrown in to be in that prone position. Couldn't last 5 minutes.

http://cycle-ergo.com Might be worth checking out for next purchase moz
Haha
The only mistake I've made is riding the 790 yesterday and remembering how much fun a light naked is with modern brakes and suspension :rofl:
Would a 690sm or 701 scratch your itch moz.
Shame the 790 didn't look like the pre production model.
BTW moz the guy that purchased the 950 lives near your base. He attends the Valley track days on a regular basis.
To be honest Tel - Id like something I could ride to work on and a SM just wouldn't be up to the dual carriageway job. The 790 would be perfect. It did everything very well.
Who bought the 950? PM the name!!
