Very little chatter on this forum regarding the 1290s...especially with a new version coming out shortly.
Is there a new 1290 forum owners have migrated to?

I agree it has been very quiet. I am waiting for news from KTM on a upgraded map for the 1290 GT. Seems KTM is always late in releasing their street Powerparts catalog.

Looks like the KTM street powerparts catalog has just been issued. Don't see a map for the GT?

too busy out riding mine. guess I don't spend a lot of time on the forums unless I have an issue. I did take mine to Bike Week in Daytona. They told me I needed to take an orange and black V-twin to Daytona. Guess I got confused there for a bit... Got a lot of looks as there's just not many KTM street bikes in FL (or at least I only saw a couple). Lots of folks looking at mine.
where do I get some rim tape? I need to replace my tyres (have a set of Angels and SuperCorsa SC2's on the way) and thought that might make my bike faster.
Anyone around the SE/Georgia USA area that want to ride let me know. I ride a few times a week regardless of weather. Maybe a few of the 990 riders could show me around the track soon (Sarasota, we'll get out there soon).

Also another that's been out riding, just last month done the annual 2500k round trip down to Melbourne for the WSB.
However stuff that going out if it`s pissing down or freezing cold.

Well done, Bic. That's as good a tirade as I've read anywhere recently. I'm amused to find that I fit somewhere in between the two polar ends of your description: guys that actually like bikes and know how to do stuff, and the nouveau riche bolt-on set. I'm one of the missing 1290 crowd, though I have a GT, so in KTM land, I'm not sure if that really counts. To the Super Duke purists, I seem to have chosen something like the two-wheeled version of a minivan. I'm an ex-Yamaha and H.D. mechanic, but that was long in the past. ( As a Yamaha mechanic, at my first Harley tech school, the instructor said, " Gentowmen, (he was a Brit) the first thing you must realise about a Harley-Davidson motorcycow is that it is a problem motorcycow". Those were the transition years from AMC to Willy G's group. It wasn't pretty.
Still, I've retained some mechanical skills and did my own service on the 749S that I traded in on the GT and the R-spec tapered collet valves of the S model was some of the more challenging mechanicking I've done. Don't pooh-pooh it 'till you've done it

Gold River, Port Renfrew, Tofino are all awesome day riding trips on the Island. Did the Duffy lake road last summer to Lillooet, which was great.
