The tube manual is quite like a telephone book. The number of it perfect. It is useful to make it possible to speak with a girl. But we can't see her beautiful face from the telephone number

I had too google ktm Super Duke 1290r 2021. Stripped back look I like. I can see why you like it. When I was top rider at A to Z couriers City office and Damon Hill road for West One I would have been at home on such a bike. The anti lock brakes would have saved me from quite a few face plants around London. Tarmac is as hard as a block of granite. We had no such technology. Congrats.

Does anyone dream about a bike they owned? If only I'd been able to afford to keep my '81 bevel 900ss Ducati when I was buying my first house. A nice investment to be sure.

I had a Dahmer years ago but if I dreamt about it, it would be a nightmare. I enjoyed the bike but could not live with its unreliability and moved it on. But there was something a bit special about the bevels not found in the belt models. And I don't mean just bevels!Michael L wrote: ↑Sun Jun 27, 2021 1:31 pm https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auct ... 4a01175f4f

Maybe you mean the shims to stop the bevel gears eating themself. And of course the box of shims you needed to set the valve clearance, but my Pantah needed those shims as well. Lucky the local bike shop (who was a Ducati dealer) had a box of them sorted by size they would let you take away as long as there was the same number of shims in the box when it came back.And I don't mean just bevels!

Yep, this, it was once mine...
Flippin' bonkers. It was awful, but now so valuable. I could buy a Norman Nippy and Sunbeam S8 now with the proceeds of selling it now and be much happier!

Lovely dave, I once owned a kawasaki kr1s, equally bonkers, another bike I wish I'd kept.

Sometimes you’re friends have to ask you, which bike are you selling now you have yet another?

Apart from being overpriced, never successful, a complete flop, not fast or even any good in the 1st place... I can't see any negatives about them really.
