For anyone who thinks these bikes might be dull, they're not. I chased Nathan Millward on his the full distance of the rollercoaster at sweet lamb a few months ago and i was on my KTM 300 TPI. Yes the back of his Himalyan was all over the place, but he was really going on it. Don't think you're gon...

Whatever. I heard KTM have asked Royal Enfield to develop their next Dakar bike.

Haha. I didn't put two and two together at the time Mike and realise you were Mike54. I would have hooked it out of second gear if I'd have known! But yeah that was a good do that. Still dreading the first time we have to put the first aid stuff into practice but you can't beat a good ride out at Sw...

Very tempted by one of these myself. For whatever reason I wouldn't buy a KTM - image maybe - and the Yam T7 still feels like a long way off. This AJP has come in a bit cheaper than I thought it was going to be and looks very capable. That engine in the SWM Superdual worked great I thought and this ...

Having found my £4k Himalayan such a good ride this year I do wonder where it ends for bike price rises. In a way I didn't think the KTM was that badly priced given that a Tiger 800 and F850GS can easily set you back the same but when you take a further step back they all seem a bit on the steep sid...

It is interesting comparison to the W650/800 as I gather they struggled a bit. The Interceptor gets my attention on price alone, much the same as the Himalayan, which I've been thoroughly impressed with over the last 16,000 miles on mine. I get the impression RE are on an upward curve and maybe will...

To be honest as soon as I posted that last post I realised I'd got the economics around my neck and completely take your point Richard. And I definitely don't deny it can't be easy in this current environment to sell bikes with slender margins. I guess I just think it's a bit of a slight of hand to ...

The bikes were launched and the pricing structure fixed well before Brexit as I remember visiting the factory in Italy prior to Brexit. And even with a 20% discount on list price - which to be honest most dealers are offering on the bikes as it is - not enough people will buy them as very few people...

I did vote Brexit so I guess we have different approaches to the situation, but companies using Brexit as an excuse for going to the wall are due to get very tiring. SWM importer were doomed to failure starting with a complete failure to engage with the UK press and get them column inches. The secon...

I believe the Mash 400 Adventure met Euro 4 before its demise (part of the reason it cost so much more than the WK version), so would assume the GasGas version will.
