I have ALL maintenance-related records in a KTM bag. 

Bad:
Previous owner kept it outside so the plastics are faded and there is some minor rust. The stickers were removed albeit poorly. Overall, I'd give the exterior a 6/10. Mechanically, the bike is in great shape. However, it is prone to stalling when pulling the clutch in and coasting to a stop (common problem on these 690's). Likely a mapping issue and as long as you give the throttle a quick blip as you pull in the clutch the bike is completely fine. It didn't bother the previous owner and hasn't stopped me from riding it or bothered me enough to fix it.

Pit Biking; good clean fun for all the family

Wed, 01 Feb 2012

If you haven’t tried Pit Biking yet, you’re missing out on some incredible fun, and it won’t break the bank. The majority of pit bikes are of Chinese origin and I guess, are best described as modern day monkey bikes. Yes Chinese, and I’ve witnessed them being thrashed round all day long without missing a beat, so Jonny Wong and co. are finally getting there on quality and reliability!  Although Pit Bikes are designed for off road use, an extra few hundred quid spent on matching up wheels, fitting tarmac tyres and some crash protection will mean you’re track ready for a total of around £600.

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Last weekend, the KTM 1290 Super Duke R prototype made its public debut in action at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Those of us who couldn’t make it over to England missed on out seeing and hearing the prototype in action along with other historic and exotic motorcycles and cars at the Goodwood House’s Hill Climb circuit. Well worry not, as KTM recorded the 1290 Super Duke R in action, with former MotoGP racer Jeremy McWilliams taking “the Beast” out for five laps.
