As a footnote to this epic novel, the latest issue of Bike mag (Nov ‘20) has a group test of middleweight naked bikes featuring the MV Brutale 800, MT-09SP, Striple RS and the KTM Duke 890R but I’m not telling y’all their verdicts...

[Ruffian]

Go on scotty.
Tell us what they think.
And then can compare to the selection of youtube videos and see if they just copied from robs opinions.

Or has rob got a job with them??

[Ming]

It won't sway your opinion I'm sure, but the Z900RS is now available with 0% finance on HP.

Or S&P have 790 Dukes for £7499. And they have a demo available.....

I would expect from other reviews that the 890 Duke has got to be up there as it’s supposed to be a lot of fun from the reviews I have seen. But sitting on it personally was not a fan and could not test ride it.

I have now made my choice gone for the BMW F900R and gone for nearly all the optional extras. Have paid my money and picking up the bike in a couple of weeks

Looking forward to your review on best pipe and slippers now your a bmw rider.

[julesh]

Out of interest what kind of deal did you get on this ? Did the current covid situation/ lack of sales give you a bargaining advantage ?

[Ruffian]

Looks smart rob.

How to see what you think of it long term.

[bkingalan]

Looking good there Rob

[menzies3032]

Thanks for all the kind comments guys really feels like the right choice and looking forward to getting this one and have some fun.

Julesh will drop you a DM with the details in a while. In short got a great deal and realised buying a new bike now and getting it imported is really important as the same bike is 7% more expensive as of 1st Jan with post Brexit import duty.
