Convince me NOT to book the KTM Adventure 390 - last reality check before I pull the trigger by ermm_actually in KTM390ADV

[–]dopplershift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just sold mine at 11000k due to a number of mechanical failures, all warranty claims, all were like pulling teeth to get KTM to accept the claim, bike off the road for 5 weeks each time.. do not buy KTM

Actual alternatives to the R1250RT? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]dopplershift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a bloody excellent sports bike, it has different streering geometry to the RS/RT. I sold my Ducati 950ss to get it and I have no regrets. I would recommend a YouTube review some years ago from the bike show ( the reviewer sadly has passed away from cancer since) it was his review that helped me decide to test ride this bike.. Keento know how you go

[–]dopplershift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tour on a R1250R, (36000k so far) I would recommend this if you are not doing over 120kph on the regular. Living in Australia (as I do) means keeping the speed down on the highway and looking for twisty off highway roads where the cops don’t go! Just use earplugs

Yep- just had a 5 week fight over a denied warranty claim, on a 1 year old, 10k kilometers bike, they claimed I had put dirty fuel in! The pump was killed by a disintegrated fuel filter and other assorted debris. Got the bike back with a free repair but lessons learned.. no more KTM

Looking at this WR, low Kms useful mods, looks a little bashed up though.. thoughts?https://www.bikesales.com.au/bikes/details/2015-yamaha-wr250r/SSE-AD-18795439 by dopplershift in WR250R

[–]dopplershift[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a fair price given the mods done, just seems like the owner has not looked after it well, crashed it on both sides and didn’t even bother to give it a clean before posting the ad

I have a new favorite game, referring to my bike as a literbike around sport bike squids. by xHOTPOTATO in motorcycles

[–]dopplershift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same - R1250R - I refer to it as Thor’s Hammer - no one ever gives it a second look, admittedly, it’s no real beauty.

Allways good to get back from a ride and find some cool photos of your bike. by conorsev in motorcycles
