Have you sorted the insurance Bob?

Sorted to mid May on current policy, tried Swinton, the fuckers want £500+ for all the bells and whistles.

 

[BobTheBounder]

Basically this but no tank bag

My arrow can arrived today. Plenty fettling to be done over the next few nights. Currently got the rhs panels etc off for running gps from the
accessory feeds. Touratech gps rack and cradle to mount it all. Meccano hasn't got a look in.

Would have been my colour scheme of choice if I'd gone for an "S".

Had a test ride of the 1390 SDR Evo a few days ago.
I was really hoping to love it as much as I did my Gen 2, but I just didn't gel with it.
It's probably an age thing but it felt too tall (couldn't flat both feet); reach to the bars was a tad too far; suspension felt too firm even in comfort mode.
I still love that engine, though.

Doesn't the Evo have a self lowering suspension setting?

Self levelling but I don’t think it has self lowering.
But I’m no doubt wrong on that.

The new 1300 noobie is self lowering should one require such an option

 

[Dox]

Maybe I'm wrong - I thought I'd read that it did.

I’ll have a gander and try and find out

Fake news mate I thought you avoided the msm

It has something called a Factory Start option, whatever that is..

As I understand it, the factory start (suspension lowering at standstill) only works when in track mode...but I haven't seen or heard anything definitive.

Michael Guy reflects on his year with the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R - But would he buy one?​

KTM 1290 Super Adventure R long-term test | 5551 miles

 

[990Glen]

Agree with his price caveat tbh. I love mine, but I managed to get it on a mega deal for just over 15k. No way I would have bought it at todays full RRP.
