Look on the bright side, at least you've only gotta try and get a refund for 1/10th the KTM price. ;)

Not saying that one is, but you can bet your bottom dollar all the scrap ones end up on Ali Express :lol:

We shred our scrap for reasons like that ;)
I'll let you know when it arrives.....
Well this is what arrived :angry-cussingblack: :angry-cussingblack: :angry-cussingblack:

It's just the outer casing, no screen.

Now I have to try and get a refund
Looking at the ad, they've done that really annoying thing that Amazon also does where they have multiple diverse objects for sale as different "options" on the one ad. I really hate that.

It is a bit dull though.
I'll take 'dull' over 'broken down' every time when it comes to touring, whatever the mode of transport. :D
Certainly when the Guzzi was broken down in France this summer I was slightly regretting selling my NC700X to my son in favour of a V85TT. But then when it was fixed I quickly forgave it.
