I'm sure if your going to do the miles, the big fazer will be better (and not much slower either!) Been toying with the idea of a change to a KTM myself for a while now. Might pick your brains later.
But for now we need Piccies!
Could you sneak a pic of the KTM in without anyone noticing.
Why did I change? Old age, I suspect mate. I had sportsbikes since the mid 80's never wanted any other type of bike and for the last 15 years the bulk of my biking was country lane blasts around Kent.
Since 2005, I have always had a Superduke which is perfect for the riding I do but too uncomfortable to ride for much more than an hour at a time. I bought the RC8 as I wanted one and a mate needed to sell quick. I liked it but I just dont need a 150bhp sportsbike for my riding.
What I needed was a bike I would ride for its own sake and hopefully go a bit further afield on. I tried every sports tourer and adventure bike out there but none really ticked all the boxes. Knew the Fazer was a good bike and could be made to handle from my time in the IAM so here I am and well pleased with it so far.
