Yup, that's the truth. Despite the fact we sometimes have doubts, we're bikers and like bikes. Riding them just makes us like them even more and that then sways the mind to keeping.Numnut wrote: Wed May 25, 2022 10:13 am Brought the bike to work today - selling it is a great idea when it's in the garage, but once you get out to play it makes a pretty convincing argument to stay!
That is lovely! Surprised it hasn't sold? Bit early in the season maybe? Weather might be putting the fair weather bikers off?Numnut wrote: Wed May 25, 2022 10:04 am Ok cool, cheers... here's the eBay ad..

I can do that bit,if the money is right.
I’ve almost decided my 790 is a keeper I’ve spent a small fortune on it and with nearly 13k miles on it it must be worth nothing 
Yep they are brilliant bikes (writing this is convincing me to keep it…) the 890 doesn’t help really nor does the KTM policy of heavily discounting models! some people seem to prefer the 790 over the standard 890… I’ve only had a little ride on a standard 890 and it was fine, smoother at slower speeds but otherwise much the same.Pgm wrote: Wed May 25, 2022 6:01 pm Not sure why these don’t sell well other than people wanting the 890I’ve almost decided my 790 is a keeper I’ve spent a small fortune on it and with nearly 13k miles on it it must be worth nothing
It is a brilliant bike tho.
Ktm reduced the price of the 790 a week after I bought mine.Numnut wrote: Wed May 25, 2022 9:47 pmYep they are brilliant bikes (writing this is convincing me to keep it…) the 890 doesn’t help really nor does the KTM policy of heavily discounting models! some people seem to prefer the 790 over the standard 890… I’ve only had a little ride on a standard 890 and it was fine, smoother at slower speeds but otherwise much the same.Pgm wrote: Wed May 25, 2022 6:01 pm Not sure why these don’t sell well other than people wanting the 890

With 13k I’m sure someone would offer you 3k and make it seem like they were doing you a favour!
I'm just waiting for the same on the SMC-RsPgm wrote: Thu May 26, 2022 11:08 amKtm reduced the price of the 790 a week after I bought mine.Numnut wrote: Wed May 25, 2022 9:47 pmYep they are brilliant bikes (writing this is convincing me to keep it…) the 890 doesn’t help really nor does the KTM policy of heavily discounting models! some people seem to prefer the 790 over the standard 890… I’ve only had a little ride on a standard 890 and it was fine, smoother at slower speeds but otherwise much the same.Pgm wrote: Wed May 25, 2022 6:01 pm Not sure why these don’t sell well other than people wanting the 890

I did approx 7k miles on my 790 and am on my second 890R now and agree with both these sentiments- my personal view is that the bit of extra engine that the 890 gives you really isn't that significant over the 790 which is still an absolute cracker of a motor- the main improvements are in the suspension and brakes, on the R anyway- dunno about the regular 890, as haven't ridden oneNumnut wrote: Wed May 25, 2022 9:47 pmYep they are brilliant bikes (writing this is convincing me to keep it…) the 890 doesn’t help really nor does the KTM policy of heavily discounting models! some people seem to prefer the 790 over the standard 890… I’ve only had a little ride on a standard 890 and it was fine, smoother at slower speeds but otherwise much the same.Pgm wrote: Wed May 25, 2022 6:01 pm Not sure why these don’t sell well other than people wanting the 890
