cant decide super ten or ktm 690

[jackassdave]

looking at getting another bike but cant decide i really like the looks and the (physical) size of the super ten ,but really like the look of the ktm 690 with rally raid fairing to be honest they wont get ridden that much ,more likely to be polished than ridden .
dont really want another gs 1200/1150 not because i dont like them ive just had so many ,did think about another airhead as i really like them but to be honest when i had the last one i was glad to get rid of it there great machines but nothing compared to a modern bike .
ill have a think about it and go and test ride both i geuss

Totally different bikes!

Mine may be up for sale soon

 

[jackassdave]

yes i know tim ,as i dont ride that much the harshness of the ktm against the super ten may not come into it ,i prefer the harley to ride but id like another bike to play with

 

[Timolgra]

Test ride the 1190 ADV, you'll be smitten

 

[jackassdave]

ok ill do that allthough having had a 950s before it was a great bike but i was still in gs mode i may have a look at the 1190

 

[jackassdave]

690 Dave as it looks great and you can build it up more, come have a look at mine then make a decision.

They are just so different, ideally I would want one of each. The S10 is a great do-it-all sort of bike, which is why I have it and intend to keep it, but I would go with the smaller beast if it was just for the odd short Sunday blat down some back lanes.

 

[jackassdave]

is yours ready yet mark ?

 

[mark71]

Not yet but getting there
