Sat on one today yes it was very nice I'm 5,8 tall so little legs and I could easily touch the floor in the lowest position . dealer told me the first batch 350 units have been sold and now looking at march onwards the crash bars running around the side and across the front is made of alloy and is only for the spot lights so its not a crash bar.
A few prices were centre stand £160 heated grips £300 (wow) top box £360 panniers I think £580 dct was £800 more so I'm going to book a test ride next week and see what's it like going to hold of until my trip to Pyrenees in June but I must admit it is a stunning looking bike better in the flesh than the pictures
O yeah nealy forgot insurance 48 yr old male lives in romford essex 3 yrs no claims
Clean licence fully comp £400 then it jumps to over £600 with all the other insurance companies

I it's a great looking bike,I opted for the low seat,being a short ARSE .£150 for the option? . This bike has had more Hype ,than England winning the World Cup.in 1966. I only hope the bike it's still great after 5years .Al (thumbs)

Me too, especially as the BMW is £1500 cheaper, even before you add heated grips & centre stand - then it'll be £2000 cheaperKTM Deano wrote:I'm still undecided between this and an F800. It'll be one or the other :whistle:
Had a good look at the AT yesterday in a dealers - first time I have ever seen it
Looks good, feels good
Hate the crap rear rack though
