  1. Sounds like it. One of these:

  2. Fairings look the same, but i believe it had (from memory) white wheels, or half white at least.

    I really want one now.
     
  3. They were knocking SE models out at 12k in the end, but now some dealers are trying to get 13+ used ?? Bloody crooks
     
  4. Spent the weekend in Devon and Cornwall on the bike, it's only a few weeks old but I've now done 2k miles.

    This bike is so bloody good, I love it!

  5. The two-tone wheels were a accessory catalogue option.
    Nice, but not cheap. Better to save a bit more, I'm reliably informed by someone who's done it, and get BST carbons.
     
  6. Could one of you lucky owners measure the bars for me please, need to know if it will ft down the side of my house?

    Thanks.
     
  7. Not been out to check but I think the 2017 is 810mm - wider than the previous model.
     
    • Thanks Thanks x 1
  8. Thanks mate, i think that is ok - i have up to 870mm from memory.

    Still enjoying yours, no trouble with it yet?
     
  9. 3k miles in two months and still loving every mile. Took it to Brands Hatch yesterday and it didn’t disappoint - 97db with the slip on.

    Only slight disappointment is KTM’s approach to performance modifications, basically if it’s not from their PowerParts catalog it invalidates the warrenty. Not a big issue as with any full system it would not get on track so I’m leaving as is - tons of power and great sound with the Akra slip-on. My advice would be add as much as you can from the dealer at the time of purchase as you’ll get a good discount.

    Also, watch out if you choose black, the few I’ve seen had poor paint finish, but I’m fussy.

  11. Tasty!

    What DB do you get static with baffles?
     
  12. Dunno I'm afraid, Donnington day was 108db and I ran without the db as I did at the Nordschleife.

    Reckon that the akrapovic gives about 103-104 static with db killer on a 2016 bike though based on info from some of the lads on the ktm forum

  13. Brands Hatch. Took it easy as I don’t fancy picking up the crash bill, but it’s was brilliant!

    Hanging off for the camera :laughing:

  14. Sure is, that corner exit grunt!
     
  15. Are you still thinking of getting one of these @Wayne58?
     
  16. Yeah defo mate, very nearly bought one two weeks ago, but figured that I didn't have time for delivery, running in etc before we go to Spain in April so I'm gonna do the trip on the Multi, then order one when we get back. :upyeah:
