    I bought this last summer and I thought it would be the kind of bike that I'd like but it isn't. The engine is awesome but it's just too lairy for me to be honest. They're well regarded bikes I think but it's not for me.

    It's got 20,800 miles on it, has MOT until the 23rd March 2024 (passed last week), has good S22s on it and it in good overall condition. I bought it from a KTM dealer locally last year. Last stamp in the service book is 19100 ish. Comes with power parts seat and arrow exhaust (with baffle). Hyperpro steering damper included unless you want a discount and then I'll put the standard one back on.

    £7400 makes it cheaper than anything of that year locally on bike trader.

    Sorry to hear that but how did they do that though? They would need the VIN number or the references from the v5 or new keeper section.

    It always makes me laugh when people block out their number plate!! I get why people do it.....its because other people tell them it shouldn't be done!!

    Yet on here, you'd probably get around 20 views, on an auction sight like ebay maybe you'll get 100 views.....but while you're out and about you've probably had thousands who have seen it!!!

    If it gives people an ounce of comfort i suppose its fine, hell I've probably done it myself!! But it really is a waste of time. I've sold dozens of bikes and cars on ebay and auto trader and never obscured the number plate !!;)

    The difference is though that probably none of the thousands of people who see the bike out and about are going to falsify a bike plate whereas if I wanted to do just that then I'd search google for a for sale ad of the bike I wanted to steal the plate from. I've had the plates of a bike I owned duplicated and had a visit from the police. I didn't know the source but I'm pretty sure it wasn't someone who saw me out for a ride.
