Right up there in terms of funnest, most entertaining bikes you can buy. Proper grunt, proper laugh out loud in helmet.. Yes please.
If he won't drop the £500, i'll take this one and have a grand spare.
No argument here. I am currently looking at another one myself.
Problem is
@Potter , it hits your requirements right on the head. Sunday morning hooning about, it will not serve any other purpose. It was the most single minded machine I have ever owned, I got mine with four owners and 1,900 miles on the clock!
Soon as I rode it, it was obvious why. It's not a transport device, it is more like a test or more precisely, a workout. The 2011 version is the most insane version, all titanium top end etc.
But we digress. I just spent the last hour flicking through an old thread "KTM Super 990R first ride" . 20 pages of mayhem as I had the disastrous fuelling remapped to perfection.
Précis on the bike: Hated it. Loved it. Hated it. Loved it. Loved it. Sold it.
Since I could theoretically buy any bike I want now, it made my list of potential extravagances but it would literally only ever be for the occasional blast. It is a demon bike. Only a confirmed lunatic would want to own one and while it is unquestionably the perfect machine for really shredding tarmac and destroying roads, working out your aggression etc., it is too highly strung and too single minded.
Damn. I'd lust LOVE to have a go on one
right now though...
