  1. They really make sense once properly on the gas. Not a 7/10ths bike for sight seeing! When on it though....:astonished:o_O

  2. Yep, that makes sense from my first ride. Am sure when I am chasing someone else it will all come together ;)

  5. Hope you get to love it. Cant go wrong with Tuono/ RSV4rf / new v4 naked (hopefully) 1st world issues.

  7. I do like the BMW but can’t help think that coming from a Ducati you should have tried the KTM - not that I’m biased...

  8. Do you go on the KTM forum and tell them how brilliant your Ducati is? Asking for a friend ;)

  9. KTM has no local dealer for me, so not worth looking at really. Plus I am just so undecided on its looks and cost wise its right up there with Ducati.

  10. If there’s a Ducati worth raving about I will, I like most motorcycle brands and don’t have red tinted glasses on when it comes to being objective about bikes ;). Although obviously my current bike is the best bike ever!

    Ah that’s always a problem, nearest Aprilia, Ducati and KTM dealers to me are a 60 min drive. BMW are just up the road and I’m eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new S1000RR :thinkingface:

  16. I'm not big but I look like an elephant shagging a mouse on all the pics of me on my RSV4.

  17. Hence I didn’t buy a Tuono

  18. The SDR is like the big girl at a night club, she might not be the prettiest but you'll get a ride you'll never forget :joy:

  20. Seat height was fine, it's the peg height, cramped legs and really short reach to the bars. Might be better on the move but it seemed way to small for my lanky frame.
