Hello All, after 29 years of riding and the last 12 years exclusively owning and riding various Suzuki’s I’ve now got my first ever KTM !

I haven’t kicked my Suzuki habit totally though I still have my 2010 B-King sharing space with my SDR1290 (Both bikes in the faster Black). The B-King has been modified no more underseat exhaust, Brembo Brakes, PCV, R&G Crash Protection and the list goes on. Hopefully I won’t need to change the SDR as much, although I’ve already purchased Akrapovic Slip-On Silencer, Tail Tidy, Akrapovic Carbon Tank Panel, Frame Crash Pads, Radial Roadlok, Heated Grips (I ride all year round) and Pillion Seat Cover from the KTM Powerparts Catalogue so the modifications will continue.

Welcome on board dude. Major envy on the 1290 purchase

Welcome aboard fella. Where in Dorset you from? My mum's from Upwey. Spent a lot of time there as a kid and young adult. MY great grandad was a groundsman at the Upwey Manor too. Ahh, memories!

Enjoy the 1290. Wasn't going to get one but now I'm starting to turn green with envy. Will have to win my next pitch so I can justify it to the wife

Welcome!
What's a b-king? something with B!tch king maybe...
