I really really like this, mainly because it's something I'd like to own for blatting around the forest, pretending I'm in my 20's again sharing the shit out of myself on this 😁

I was hoping that the base bike would be older than 2012 but for reliability it's probably for the best.

I like it, but it looks a lot like the 1986 KTM 250 I had - but the seat should be blue.

It'll rattle your fillings out.
I put SM wheels on my 300EXC and I literally couldn't see until it hit the powerband and smoothed out, if you've never experienced it then it's very unpleasant.

The fuel injection makes it silky smooth.

Rode my old 250exc SM from Bristol to Waltham Abbey.......and back again in 1 hit (long story)
Apart from having to stand for the last 30 or so miles, not too bad iirc

I really fancy a two stroke KTM.

There is even a dealer 4 miles from me...

I will. Hopefully they will take the Street Triple in part exchange. Seems it is a very unpopular bike here.
