Wasn’t planning on buying a bike today, it just sort of all fell into place 🤷‍♂️🤣 Seemed like a relatively good bargain and £1650 cheaper than my local dealer. Good p/x price offered on my KTM 690 smcr and a quickshifter added and delivery arranged for next Saturday. Despite having 9 KTMS in the last 13 years there’s nothing in their range that inspires me ( and the fact a lot of it is manufactured in china)So first Doocati incoming. The only thing I know is I can touch the ground. Was planning a test ride at some point before buying but……………. Hope I like it

That's a good price, always thought they were way more than that.

I've got the new Monster for the same money a few months ago, same engine and I'm loving it.

My only issue is practicality. I know it'll ruin it's looks but no one does a rack for it, a decent screen for the winter and a top box.

There isn't any grab handles or somewhere to bungee a bag to the pillion.

Good thing I don't know anyone that wants to sit on the back and I'll just use a backpack.

Enjoy it smile
