1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S

[Rasher]

Don’t forget to allow enough lead, as it goes up and down with the screen.

Ordered myself another 1290S a few minutes ago.
Pick it up next week.

Can I have first dibbs on it please.

I'll swop you a proper 1290 GT, the full fat version and handful of paper for it.

Hi Dave
Have you fitted the full Akro yet?

Not so many accessories.
Same colour as before.

Travel pack.
Heated seats.
Heated grips.
Sat nav mount. Either fit a new nav 6 or a nav 5. Then sell the other.
Tank protector.
Radiator protector.
White front mudguard.
White Barkbusters.
Black Peli case.

If I get carried away and order loads of bits, the bike then becomes very expensive, I have a job justifying the spend. Sell it and start again. It makes no sense. But it keeps me amused.

Here we go again!

Do you want the white front mudguard off your first one?

Swap for a decent sat-nav bracket?

I prefer the look of the black one.

I think you and Rich should change call signs!

Yes.
Would like the white front mudguard if still mint. I do have another white one. But that has a couple of tiny marks.

Not sure what type of sat nav bracket your after. Have a new one that I purchased for your SMT. But guess what. Bike gone before it arrived. ;0)

Is yours a 2018 model - will be interesting if there are any differences from the 2017 model I am picking up today.

 

[Apex]

Yes, for Nav 6 and the 1290 like we were discussing. I'll check the gaurd, although I removed it straight away to coat the bike in HybridX so should be as it left your place. Didn't go for a ride with it on. I'm I'm South Africa right now so won't be able to check until week Sunday though!

So do you have another bike in mind when you sell the new one an hour after getting it home.....

IIRC there was at least one bike that never even made it home.

At the NEC KTM said there was no difference between 2017/2018.

Let me know if they were wrong!

Software seems to change quickly though. Bought mine in Oct and by the time first service was done Nov there were 2 revisions taking 2.5 hrs to load, not that there was any difference I could tell.

Cold boring run down to Maidstone this morning to get the new bike but had a nicer run back up using the A5 and back roods from Hinckley - all good so far

........even managed to get to the Super Sausage before it closed for a bacon sandwich and a coffee



For what it is worth - found Laguna to be very good in terms of picking up the new bike. Did find a very tiny chip in the paint on the front wheel and they immediately swapped it for one off another new bike there and then

That does look very cool in black Paul

Still joking.
