Just bought my first motorbike

Not sure how to post the photo so it shows as a photo rather than a link.

No, its the 300. I almost bought an ER6F but I just found it too heavy for me - I'm a small female.

How do you find the reliability of the KTM 'ceptor?

Its my third KTM and I haven't anything but love for the brand. I have a 2016 1190 Adv that I bought new from Overlanders and it just passed 17k kms without missing a beat. I've taken it touring in Europe a few times and it does two-up touring as well as high-speed scratching around mountain hairpins equally well - the pic above is from last years Croatia tour.

The 1290 SD is a recent purchase, it's just had its first service so its just been run in. It is the most insane machine I've ever ridden and I can't comment on reliability just yet - ask me again next year when I've put a few miles on it.

I've had a lot of bikes and tried most brands (except Triumph and HD) and I keep coming back to KTM for the styling, build quality and bike dynamics. If there was a decent dealer network for KTM I'd probably buy newer models more regularly.

Yeah, I'm a big orange fan-boy - hope that answers your question?

Thanx for the honest input, might be an orange boy very very soon myself.

I'm stuck reviewing technical specifications at a desk in an office, looking out at the clouds and wishing I was back there. No filters, no photoshop, just got off the bike and took that with my phone - unreal scenery if you ever get the chance to visit.

You picked the right month for it anyway.
Can you ride it on non-traditional routes?

It looks like it needs a race pipe.

I'm on the case though.
Have a worldwide search on and have a couple of leads.
UK only got 20 of these bikes so parts are scarce.
Have the race nose cone and race belly pan already.
