New bike day

Post by Grumpy Jase »

My BMW K1300S was written of recently in a SMIDSY incident between Umberleigh and Great Torrington, so I've been on the lookout for a replacement. Despite their financial woes, I really wanted a KTM Superduke GT and have just managed to find a good one.

Hope to see you out on it on a rideout soon.

Thanks to Phil for his advice on the similarities and differences of KTM and Aprilia V twins, which was spot on, and useful, as I bought one!

Nice looking bike.
If I had to have just one bike it would likely be one of those (or if anything happened to my 1190 Adv).

That looks fantastic and considering the KTM wowwes I would assume now is the time to actually bag a bargain of a KTM so hoping you managed to grab a good deal. Either way enjoy the riding and as you say hope to see you enjoying a ride out in 2025
