I finally rode my K8, commuted to work on her the last two days and she is a revelation. Smoooooth as silk engine and the gearchange is like a hot knife thu something really soft. Steering and especially turn in is a huge improvement. What a lovely bike!
I hit the M2 early this morning well before traffic started to build and decided to have a play. Rolled her thru first and short shifted to second and up she came on the throttle, let her settle and then hit it again in third. She didint come up so I tried it again and leant back a little, up again in THIRD!! on the throttle.
No bad for a stocker especially considering I weigh in at 100kg.
Great bike much better than the earlier models but still ugly as sin
If I get no takers on the sale of mine then I'll keep her as a commuter and sell the KTM.
Might even add a bit of bling!
