The KTM is much faster handles better and has electronics the 796 just didn’t have, not sure how a newer Hyper would compare TBH. My budget wouldn’t stretch to a Hyper, KTM or the dealers had discounted the 790 so heavily that at £6850 OTR it was a bargain. Plus I didn’t have the £3.5k difference to buy a Hyper, on balance if it was between the 890 and the Hyper right now I’d buy a Hyper they are after all a better looking bike.
Thank you - think I saw the V4 Multi on their Facebook page, awesome bike for touring and long distance rides, enjoy.
Welcome .... Just down the road from you and a regular visitor to JHP Bassetts Pole is still on but avoid if I were you, full of kids on quad bikes, Fradley Junction is on Wednesdays and The Blythe Inn. There’s a Ducati meet on the 29/8 in the Cotswolds, Chipping Camden.
Thanks for the welcome and update. I’ll definitely be avoiding Bassetts Pole and may give Fradley Junction a visit in the next week or so.
Not sure on BP, I passed a couple of months ago and looked a poor turnout. Yeah The Swan at Fradley. Also heard The Blythe had some trouble a few weeks back with Police.
If you’re local enough there is a gathering at Bradford Arms Ivetsey Bank, Wheaton Aston, Stafford ST19 9QT Monday nights get there early as by around 8:30 most are heading home for their Horlicks.
