New Bike Doldrums

[number9]

I'm going to rehash what I've said in the past; 2015-2017 KTM 1290 Super Adventure "T". They're stupid cheap used, the LC8 is extremely reliable, infinitely hoon-able, and best of all they come with gigantic boxes that make commuting extremely convenient. It's a weapon disguised as a lame dad bike dishwasher.

What's a good price for one?

I've seen low mileage examples at ~$7k recently.

I don't know whether to say "thank you" or "fuck you".. lol.

I wish one of them was in orange though!

What is your opinion on Multistradas - better or worse than the KTM?

Saw a new MT-10 setup as a tourer with bags and a big screen at NEMRR round 2, looks like a fun setup. I'm hoping to try one at Club if work will actually approve my time off in a timely manor...

Visited the local Yamaha shop today and checked out a newly arrived MT10 SP. my buddy is a sales guy there, he gave me an OTD price of $17.2k - not bad. I *really* like the idea of having the Ohlins Smart EC suspension given out widely varying road conditions in New England. Definitely a lot more room for a pillon rider, although I totally get this isn’t a 2-up tourer. I think it’ll do for some shorter rides with the wife.

I’ve really never been a Yamaha guy, but this one seems to really hit the sweet spot in this class for features, price, and styling. The Hornet SP is sliding back in rank, primarily because I’ve learned about an oil consumption issue.
