New year, new bike

Thanks Moz.

Struggling to find a Grey one in the UK. Plenty of Orange ones.

Dealers are advertising the bike, but when you ring them, they have none left.

Been offered ex-demos, nearly new bikes and one large dealer has decided to stick a grand on the price tag.

They looks so similar, I'd take the orange one.

Bet changing the fairing wouldn't cost the earth.

Boom !!!!!!!!!! Deal done, Grey one. Pickup in 2/3 weeks. First new bike for 12 years

Nice one

Happy New Bike day then Tel???

Be very interested to hear what you think of it. A tall 6th for a road tourer that's renowned for being thirsty is not surprising Alzo.

The reports suggest 6th is redundant under 85mph...but as said that's Journos reviews...take most with a pinch of salt.

nice, was seriously tempted by this offer too
but then reminded myself the whole point i have 2 bikes is so i dont have to take a nice bike out in winter months
i am sure it is cracking bike

I wouldn't take a 990 SMT out in the winter either Komp - far too good.

maybe but its that or the panigale!

Exactly 

[terry950sm]

Dilemma. I have 3 bikes, which one do I get rid of. KTM 950sm, had this from new, sort of attached to it. KTM 450sx, like riding a pushbike with engine.

[MOzZereLLa]

Depending on the spec, mileage and deal - I'd be interested in the 950 Tel

...and the 450? 

[terry950sm]

Are you interested in the 450?

[the invisible dog]

Tempting but probably not seriously enough at the mo' 
Planning on an outing on a 250 in the spring so will see how that goes...
