been on the look out for a cheap winter hack/commuter, don't want to spend too much, I have come across this - ktm duke 2 690 super moto 2000 | eBay what are your thoughts ? I can live with the fact that there's no description to speak of and that they haven't even bothered to wash it, what does concern me is the damage to the engine casing does that look like something to walk away from ? what else would you be looking for ? and what would be your price i'm thinking 600-700 is that a bit of an insult ? like I said i'm not to worried about the cosmetic side of things it's going to be used through the winter, just don't want to end up with something that's more trouble than it's worth, your opinions much appreciated Julian
I'd be more concerned with the 122209 miles and the fact that it looks like it's in a pikey's caravan site.
Great bikes but those engines are not really known for longevity. The powder coat on the frame etc flakes though and allows rust to form. WP forks are great but the seals leak easily. Clutch slave cylinder can give up the ghost (I've owned 2 640s, basically same as the Duke)
Unsure on the Ebay add BUT my cousin had a 04 plate for a winter hack and it was bloody fun. I really like them
