    Nothing major, most likely end can, fly screen, ASV's, pillion seat cover and removal of rear pegs.

    After having the Akra fitted last time I wasn't willing to pay KTM nearly a grand for more or less the same can as stock. I'm tempted by the Jester can, but I don't really want something that's too antisocial so I may look at Arrow or Scorpion.

    Very nice.

    I saw this one at our local bike night earlier this week (last one of the season :()

    It is quite nice in silver ...bit of a screen on it ....dude traded it for an almost brand new MT-10 SP. Went back to a Super Duke...

    Shame he couldn't buy the right colour screen. ;)

    I did consider the MT10SP but not living anywhere near a petrol station now the tank range on the Tuono drove me mad and I've heard it's worse on the Yam.

    Apparently the newer MT10s are better on fuel, but not seen any real world tank range info yet.

    I remember some of the emotional highs and lows of MT-10 ownership.

    A bit of a worry as the fuel level drops really low and the worry about getting some fuel in it. Then the emotional high as you got to a petrol station and brimmed it with the best petrol on sale !

    Leaving a petrol station with a tank full of V-Power somehow just felt really good on the MT ! :D

    The MT10 is on my list, but it has to be able to do at least 120 miles on a tank without having to be ridden like an angel.

    I was getting 90-95 miles on the Tuono, think that would be worse on the MT.

    I'd be very surprised if the new MT10 was worse than that tbh.

    To be fair I still managed to do some touring on the old MT-10 SP - went down to Spain on it, and a couple of trips to France as well.

    Having a Sat Nav that displayed petrol stations was a must have. Even then a couple of very close calls with it - once in solid slow moving city ring road traffic - the other having to ride past the petrol station as it was on the other side of the motorway, so had to ride to the next exit and double back - both times were very close calls with running out of juice.

    Just out of interest - what range does that new KTM Super Duke have ?

    I did North Wales and back in a day on the old one and got 140 miles before I got pinged to fill up, was some motorway in that.

    On this bike, which is more or less the same as the 2020 I had, I did a 60 mile razz around the B roads yesterday and it's still saying 120 mile range. With some town and more B roads I'd expect about the same 140ish miles.
