Considering trading the Superduke whilst the trade-in price is still reasonable with the new model out.

Great bike - just a bit lardy. Bit like me.

Considering a new 890R with QS+ and track pack fitted. Hopefully the changes to it address all the issues I had with the 790.

Needed to post something.

It's a bit like CPR for the forum...

will you not miss the power?
KTM 1290 Superduke GT
BMW R nine T

Like Komp says...Will you not miss the brutal power of the 1290?

7550

I'm not sure I will miss the power. I test rode a 765RS which is very similar power-wise and it felt fine.

I think the lower weight and nimble handling will make up for it. Especially on the public road. The 1290 is a bit of a handful.

You can never have enough power...😊

If you have nothing else to make up for it.

I have plenty 😎

Deal done.

Very impressed with my local dealer (he must love me). Minimal loss on the 1290 and he wants all the bolt on bits attached to the 1290. I save on the requirement to pay for the service the 1290 needed in April and the fact it needed a new rear tyre. Small deposit and monthly finance figure the same. Man maths!

In return he's throwing in the Akky slip-on with the 890R which retails at £860. I doubt I would have got £600 for the bits selling separately.

Just a tail tidy to fit and away we go.

I'll try.

If it disappoints - move on.

New S1000R out in '21.
