shes arrived, wot a weapon, happy bear, just popping out to whack a few hundred miles on her need to get her run in quick. im loving the slipper clutch and quick shifter awesome fun. its gonna take a while getting used to her after the super tenere though, so so different, light and very powerful. im need ing a smoked touring screen and spot lights on the crash bars. cant buy anything for her at the moment as its too new lol. even touratech dont list anything for her.

The new 1290's have a TFT dash.

Had chance to try the LED headlights yet?

That is looking very good indeed! Think all that power would be wasted on me!

Looks slim from front even with the panniers on, so have KTM managed to get the panniers tucked in well now, as I did notice on some models they did protrude a fair bit.

Looking forward to a report once you've piled on a few miles.

You'll find that most add on parts will be from an 1190R apart from anything to do with the headlight cowl.

If you're over 6' tall I have a brand new renazco seat that I'd sell which will give you more room not to mention being the coolest thing you can put on one
