Gone to the Dark (grey) Side

Nice garage!! How big is your house?

If I could afford all that garage space I would fill it with bikes - its communal parking

Hi guys,

I've just sold a Megamoto, thought I would go for a 450 exc and a 800gs. That was just about the catalogue of mistakes, miss the Megamoto like hell ! Toured Europe twice and it was bloody great, yes you can tour on it, trust me. The 450 exc is good fun, great to ride across the fields etc and not quite roadworthy yet - but it will be I promise.
Haven't bought a 800gs yet though, tried a Tiger 800 and liked that to be honest. However I'm drawn towards a 950 SM or maybe a 950 SMR.

What are these like - honest answers only please ?
Fuel consumption figures anyone, and yes I'm used to a small tank, remember the Megamoto only has a 13 litre tank as well ?
Any idea on prices chaps ?

Thanks

Now this is one seriously cool looking bike
Handsome in a way that the fugly GS couldnt match, I give you that indeed

Now just get rid of the tyres and you could win the argument

I have had 150 miles out of my 950sm.And to be honest that wasn't just cruising either.

About 44mpg as a good average over a reasonable length tour.

Why must you resist? No really, why? Resistance is futile!

Couple of nice looking 950's in that collection.

Have been mostly riding the orange beast over the winter whilst the GS sulks in the garage.

There has been a bit of a change - I found a better deal on a 2007 KTM 990 from Premier Bikes in Didcot so have gone with that one instead. A word about the dealer who was going to sell me the 2008 990 - Bridge Motorcycles in Exeter. I phoned them with the bad news this morning and they accepted that they could not compete on price with the deal I had found and are refunding my deposit - a professional approach that I appreciate.

Delt with Premier in the past .............excellent people to deal with

agree 100% - they did the big service on my SE yesterday (valves etc) and some other work I'd requested which I just don't have time to do and it was all sorted. I hate it when you rock up at some dealers and they say "Oh sorry we didn't order that" PB had got everything in off just the booking phone call. Top chaps.

cheers
