For a Sunday cafe bike, a mate spent £4k a couple of weeks ago on a Ducati 500 Pantah.

Re: You've got five grand...
I've changed my mind.
I'd buy a tow bar for the car, a light bike trailer and a Trials bike. Join the local club and see how badly I spank myself up Junior Kickstart stylee.
Or buy half of this...

I didn't know Beta were still making the Alp, they've been making them for over 20 years, they had a good reputation, do they still have a Suzuki engine?KungFooBob wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 9:28 pm Brand new, the road less travelled, at a slower pace...

Re: You've got five grand...
I still really want one of these, but if what I've heard about the performance is correct I doubt I'd have my licence after one or two Sunday blasts.

You don't have to ride it like a loon. (But you will).

I think it's ideal for a Sunday morning ride. Not as quick as the 990 but more than quick enough for the local cart tracks. I took a new one out for a morning a few years ago and I enjoyed it, but I was a bit worried about reliability. Not so much of a problem on a Sunday bike.
That one is also almost devoid of orange

Either Weeksy's KTM, or an MT10. Both will make you laugh and giggle, at sub 100mph speeds.
