A motorcycle with body work and very poor weight distribution. The Kymco AK550 and Yamaha T-Max have already done this properly. They also have much more storage space for the shopping!

I see it has 2 rads from the blurb. I was thinking I bet that runs hot, my 690 always seemed to run hotter than other bikes I'd owned in terms of throwing heat off the engine and especially the cat.

It's a bit nuts, but I like it in a bonkers way.

I changed the fan switch for one that allowed the fan to kick in earlier which helped - a bit...

I like that scoot. They've done a tidy job and it must be of a bit of grin surprising people on it!

But they both look as visually appealing as a deep fat fryer.

Its a common mod and they quote a few part #s in this thread. HTHs. https://www.ktmforums.com/threads/cooli ... 690.92794/

Just got round to reading the full article and I've revised my opinion. Upwards.

I think it's superb. Beautifully engineered and very stylish and so much more so than stuff like the T-Max. Sure, you can't get your shopping on it, I don't care, I want one. :lol:

Looks Great! For me, though, I'd rather have a scooter that looked like that & was fairly slow.

The more Iook at it, the more I like it. The engineering is top notch and it has better than OEM levels of fit and finish.
