Hi Guys,
My name is Stu, and I am new to road riding bikes. I am writing my learners on Friday, and am already in process to purchase my first commuter road bike. The KTM Duke 390 (starting the finance process today).
I have experience with Trials riding and that bike is a Beta Rev 3 still running the clubman/intermediate line.
Once I get my Bike, ill kick-off with a bit of training and progress to some defensive driving courses.
I plan to use the bike for commuting through residential areas and not really keen yet for highway travel. My 9km commute takes me an hour and 10 min some days... hence the need.
I have already PM'ed Stranger (as per forum recommendations) for an insurance quote and hopefully he comes back to me soonhave also gotten another quote for R400+- pm for insurance.
The bike is a 2018 model with just over 1300 on the clock. So it is the nice new facelift version.
I have read that the older models had some reports of issues with the cooling system, I presume KTM has resolved those issues.
I look forward to joining in the fun on the forum!
Stu
