as you all know i have been on this site for more than 2 years now.
i owned a KTM 950 adv for almost a year, but sold it along with my subaru in order to buy a house and get married.
well,
i got the house, the wedding is past (3 weeks and going strong ;D ), and i have an old landy that is paid for.
now my GAT is itching BIG time!!!!
for weeks have i been trying to justify to myself why i need a bike again:
"the landy uses +-R2100 of diesel per month. ha! for that kind of money i can buy a bike, insure it, fill it up a couple of times, AND have money left over" (well almost have money left over)
or
"with all the robots out, it makes sense to have a bike"
or
"diesel is not going to get any cheaper"
and my personal favourite;
"it wont be that cold this winter"
1st i thought i'd get a kdx, then i decided on a suzuki drz400 motard, then a bmw x country, and finally KTM 640.
can you see the trend here?
we're going from cheap to expensive.
and to make matters worse, ive spotted a sweet second hand 2005 640 with 2100 on the clock and a pipe for R69 000.
i loved the 950, but always said i'd want something a bit lighter as i only weigh 70kg.
so what do you guys think?
is that price good, or is it a bit steep?
anyone care to share their experience, good or bad with their 640's
ps, Brett, hows your 640 behaving?
