time for a new toy

[fr499y 0]

I've bit the bullet and gone for something sensible... going to get rid of the KTM 950 ( lovely bike, but fully loaded its too much for me, short legs not helping ) Been offered a good price for it now its fully sorted, so here we have it... should be sticking deposit down tonight to hold me a nice white/blue one of these

what cc is that?

[fr499y 0]

that be the CBR600F, downsizing, but 130bhp ( supposedly ) torque is shockingly shit but meh. Said i wouldn't get a sports bike but suppose this is between sports and sport touring. Love the ktm but being on tip toes and falling over has made me decide to change before its too late.

looks a tidy rocket, you be careful

Is it true that the TDM doesn't have an oil warning light?

Sadly I'm not getting it in white/blue.. its the white/red I've got now >< picking it up tomorrow evening excited

I think that's a really handsome bike mate. Lost a bit of it's edge I think in recent years but I doubt there's a better all round single rider's bike that won't cost a complete packet to run. Good choice.
