Thanks! I love it so far. power wheelies in 3rd, clutch up in 4th. I don't understand how the previous owner never "enjoyed" this bike. He said he was scared of it. Which makes sense with the giant chicken strips it has on the original tires. I ordered bags for it only to find out I was off by 1 number on the part number. Ordered the 2020+ bags and not the 2019 down bags. So they'll end up on the KTM forums for sale.
For a hyper naked the wind isn't terrible. Just the same I still ordered a windshield. Suspension is soft but a good middle ground of comfort. Over 150HP on a 420LB bike is fantastic. I have found 2 things to bitch about. The turn signal switch doesn't "slide" like a usual bike. It's a button with minimal "Click" feedback. I found myself having to look at the gauges often to make sure the signal was on or off. Then the way the bike came from factory, the grip to tank clearance was TERRIBLE. If you had thick gloves, you'll feel the "squeeze" on a lock turn. Luckily when I set the bike up for my size and preference I made significantly more room for hands to not get pinched.

A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.
I don’t know who thought it was a good idea to shut off the car at lights but I can’t stand it!
