What do you reckon, what affordable choices are there for you regarding bike choice? Will KTM shift a load of these?

WANT!


i think the answer could be yes!

[Nooj]

I'd like one, would be a hoot on the back roads round here.

Great bike. Shame it's not going to be on sale in the Uk or Europe!

I agree with the article that more bikes of this type are needed. Cheap entry level motorcycles seem to be in short supply now!

Agreed, we need more mid-sized bikes, there's a huge gap between 125cc and the 600ccs

Although I did wonder at the comment:

"Or you can jump on a 600 Supersports, except you can't because there's no way you'll be able to buy and insure one."

I'm not exactly old and grey (or experienced on a motorbike) and I spent £1k on my CBR and a whole £150 insuring it :-? that doesn't seem totally out of reach! You just can't buy a brand new one which isn't exactly the end of the world.

Girls OBVIOUSLY ride more safely? ---> Cheaper premiums?

just to put it into perspective, my insurance on my RS is £450 a year for third party only!

I pay £86 fully comp with legal for my 2000 TDM850 but my car which is 1996 1100cc is £130,You would of thought the car would be cheaper to insure
