hows life back on the trannie ?

A little bit less exciting - but I think I might live longer !!!!!!!!

I still arrive at work at the same time I did on the KTM, I still arrive at the cafes at the same time as Wee Fred (but he's almost stalling !!!) ,the trannie just does what it has to.

Oh! ................ and 60 mpg is good !!!!

I'll talk to you soon mate - must be about time you had another haggis injection, and set the GS on a northerly heading ??

now thats a plan the GS is still giving me a hard time for not taking it to the national and he enjoyed his time at castle McWee of the Clan McWee

GREAT write up Buggles and some very interesting comments from the others.

IF you were to open your garage on a crisp sunny spring morning and you had the choice of the KTM Adv OR the Tiger ........................... which one would you take????

The KTM Adv for me every time , I have riden the new Tiger and if i had shut my eyes it could have been any bike BUT try that on an Adv and you know straight away it will make you smile like no other bike can !!

All things considered - I have to agree with you - the KTM 990 will always be my benchmark bike - loved it.

the ktms like a hot dirty little minx fun to ride but ultimately expensive to live with,and you couldnt take her home to momma

my GS is like the handsome slightly fat bird that cooks well, looks after you, cheap to keep, but still bangs like a bard door in a hurricane and momma lovers her

The KTM...!

But when I find myself doing 300 miles on the motorway, I'll think back to the Tiger with a tear in my eye... Although that tear may be due to the pain in my backside from the KTM seat as well...

And Chad, I would take the KTM home to meet the parents... She'd make my mum blush and my dad proud!

Agreed, I had a Tiger 955 and now have KTM 950 the Tiger is the easyier bike to live with and is better for long hauls but the KTM really does have that go anywhere feel to it and is way way more fun to ride.
