Picked this up last week from Rite Bike in Bradford.
2018 model on a private plate with only 9 miles on the clock. Somebody spent a load of cash and then didn't use the bike. I think it must have been a pre-registration bike because it has 2 previous owners on the V5. Apparently they get loads of bikes with hardly any miles on them-- folks buying them but not using them. Their loss , somebody else's gain.
Anyway, I got fed up of trailering my ktm350 around and decided to get something that could do road miles more easily and not eat chunks out of the service intervals.
A few pics - the wee beastie, one waiting in the wings while the KTM goes to its new owner and one up in North Yorkshire today on a first run out. Oh and some boxes of 'stuff' haven't had chance to open them yet.
Cracking little bike-- very neutral handling, on proper tyres and feels like decent enough quality.
I did 190 miles today on a single tank and it's showing 9 miles range remaining. 76 mpg according to the computer. 6000 rev limit (60 mph) up to 375 miles but it still makes good progress.
I've bought a load of RallyRaid stuff to go on it and will post pics of progress. Engine guard, stage 2 suspension upgrade, Rental bars and Bark busters, auxiliary socket plate.
Going to see how it goes with those bits added before spending any more dosh on RR spoked wheels..
