    1190R won`t crank

    most obvious thing to do is refit the old battery,if that starts the bike then you know you have bought a dud, if it still doesnt turn over then you know the transition has caused an issue with the ecu, phone a ktm dealer and see if something needs to be reset with a battery change, some years...

    Trade Hybrid CR500

    i wouldnt buy it untill its been tried and tested,also not realy a collectors item if it doesnt have matching frame and engine numbers, so with that in mind why would you spend tons of money on a bike that going to be used like any other sunday ride ?.

    STANDING POSITION AND GRIPPING THE HANDLE BARS

    never seen a pro rider or desert racer with straight legs or gripping with the knee`s, slightly bend your legs and let the bike float between them so you can easily flick the bike right and left with the bars or footpegs. works for the pros at erzberg, red bull romaniacs etc etc.

    Why is nobody talking about the Norden 901

    since the launch in the uk they only sold 160 units, worst selling adventure bikes in uk. down at the bottom of the list with the motor guzzi. why uk riders buy adventure bikes is beyond me, there are better tourers out there,its not like they go off road.
