I thought they did have a bike dyno, Sam Vincent (KTM SAS youtuber) had his bike done there and is incredibly happy and they got content on YouTube themselves including a ninja sx. Considered them for the ability to use the map tool myself but didn't go ahead as I wanted to see the bike on a dyno and couldn't be bothered making the trip

The SX is a great all rounder, feels quick and sporty as the engine spins up lovely, torque is very good but slightly lacking compared to a big twin although 30mph in top and will accelerate from there smoothly. I miss electronic suspension compared to the BMW and the TFT is not as advanced but neither are bad really. Comfort is excellent but the factory heated grips aren't great and I will be replacing mine with koso or ultimate add ons versions. No centre stand but I use an ABBA stand.. Bike looks the part too.. get one!!!

Bike Talk / New Bike at last

So after a lot of arguing with the insurance company the BMW was finally written off. The choice of replacement has me back on a Kwak and a mighty fine example too, I know many of you have seen it on Facebook but I also know Davy would be very disappointed if I didn't post on here too

Tyres / Pilot 6's
May 21, 2022, 11:29:02 AM
New tyres fitted this week on the RS went with the GT fitment to carry my lardy ass on the big girl knowing France trip is only a few weeks away, initial 60 mile run-in ride running the pressures the tyre place put in (so assume recommended although higher than the PR4's that were on before). Feedback is that as usual with the Michelins I feel comfortable, initial feel on front end was odd but soon enough I didn't notice, it was a dry day although some damp patches in the more wooded areas and the tyres felt great. Bike tells me 36 degree lean angle was achieved so not a bad initial run, the only bad thing about them is the price..... £360 fitted and that was with a bit of discount, apparently there have been two price increases already this year and supply can also be a challenge.. Oh well as long as they last the balance of this year then I'll be happy and if they are better than the 4's that were on the bike previously then I can't have any real complaints...

Just had to start a tyre thread lol

Bike Talk / Re: 2021 Riding Season coming to an end
December 23, 2021, 11:09:07 PM
Couple of good rides on the BMW, trip to Scotland was fun but only limited opportunities to finish with, If lucky enough to get a nice dry couple of days whilst Im off it may get a cheeky run out if only to escape the domestic bliss over the holiday season...
