Hey Guys, long time lurker first time poster.....
Well I picked up my 2013 1199 base ABS yesterday afternoon. I sold my 1290 Superduke to get it. I'd watched every youtube review and read everything there is on the net about it....(with them all saying how much of an impractical, ill tempered beast it is) people were telling me I was crazy to sell such a 'sensible' road bike as the KTM, but I still brought it....
And I can now say, after a blast through the hills on the way home from picking it up and a commute through stop start traffic in the pouring rain this morning... I'm completely and utterly in love with this bike!!!
Yes its not very comfortable....yes it gets hot and yes it doesn't like going slow...and I now sit here at my desk with my legs feeling like I've been sitting on the Sun for an hour.... but bloody hell its fun!!
so happy!!!
Cheers
