What to get next? My injured leg made me realise that when not moving a BMW GSA is a big thing. With wide bars, tank (full tank even more so) and wide engine layout even getting close to it to make it manageable isn't easy if your heading uphill (especially backwards) or not on tarmac. If the weight hadn't have been a concern I think I would still have it but a mix of weight, fancying something different, something that was a little more off road orientated and wanting a KTM (haven't owned one of these yet) the finger firmly pointed at the 1090 Adventure R. Being able to sell the GSA privately got me a few extra pennies and a good deal from Jim Aim Motorcycles in Braintree meant I didn't have to part with too much money to get the bike and a few extras (quality farkling). Hopefully I will have the bike in a week and start getting some miles on it to run it in. Think it's a 600 mile run in period (180 of those will be getting it home and back to the shop !). Here is the official KTM picture, I don't have any of my own yet !
