Wow, that's awesome looks brutal 
I can't afford KTM's and have heard that the downside of their power is they need more maintenance, same as the Husky 610's which are actually just about in my price range and I was interested in until finding that fact out. Yeah I imagine it's no fun on the motorway but I've only ever been on motorways about 2 or 3 times in 4 1/2 years of riding and that was on a naked, restricted GS 500 so I am aware of the wind blast haha. It's unlikely I will ever be taking it on a motorway although it's nice to know they will sit at 70-80 without too much fuss.
My Fazer was recently knocked over and the police found the culprit who has admitted full responsibility thankfully so I'm getting a new oem front fairing and picked up a new rear seat fairing on ebay for £22 which is an absolute bargain (£80 new), plus a new mirror. This is all getting paid for which is amazing, all of this is adding to the value of the bike which is in excellent condition except for the damage he caused. On ebay now there are bikes with more mileage or in worse condition going for around £1500 +, so I am unsure at what to value mine at probably £1549 as I think some of them are being very ambitious. It's got 21k miles on the clock and is very clean, has recently had a new chain and sprockets and tyres have about half their life yet. Only downside is the left front fork is leaking a bit. Do you think £1549 is fair, at least then if someone tried to bump me down a bit I would still get a decent price.
