Should they not "fold up " to prevent just such a thing ? The way the bracket is made means its quite vulnerable anyway as its sticks out a bit leaving it open to such damage not a very good design for a dirt bike regardless. Im sure my mate Frog will be along shortly ;) Just so you're no...

Price point looks to be around £12,150 http://www.ktm.com/gb/configurator/?segment=Travel The base AT is £10800 isn't it? So £1350 difference. The At build quality ain't a patch on KTM (no centre stand, terrible footrests, cheese wheels, brittle hand guards etc..) and for once KTM "seem" ...

Just coming upto 57,000 miles on the 950 Adventure, just regular servicing. still original clutch and runs just great, no reason not to see 100,000 in a few years time.

Reckon most bikes should easily top 100,000 miles nowadays with regular and proper servicing.

Whats the odds on most of those parts coming from Chinese factories.

I suppose we're going to have to think of a label for this expanding sector. I would expect a GS800 replacement is on the cards.

If you can't see it then it's not a problem for you, enjoy it.

You just have to look the footrest/sidestand design to see how well, errrrr not, the Honda R&D has been done on this bike. I am not trying to start argument but no body can touch the "Genius solution" from KTM when it comes to sidestands :whistle: Fair comment, no one's saying KTM don...
