Geometry is amazing on the nuda, go for the r version though, more trick bits and adjustable suspension...

I am starting to look for my next bike as KTM Australia have not imported a 990 SMR since 2011 due the lack of sales in Oz & I don't really want a SMT'

I will take a ride on Nuda R to see how it goes, it will be hard to go to any motard after owning a 130 rear wheel HP 990 SMR, I also need a bike I can modify otherwise I would just get bored with it.

Here today gone tomorrow.:067:

How about a new for 2013 Ducati 848 Hypermotard - reportedly going to be 120-130bhp off the shelf?

Pricey
 

Cant afford to buy anything new like a 2013 model, will be looking for something a few years old with a few miles done. Il keep my eyes open, for now, my XTX still makes me smile enough!

I loved my XTX's I had 3 brand new ones then Yamaha Australia stopped importing them so I had to move on.

Well funny people mention the Hyper, I've had the 796 Monster, same engine, and if anyone is curious, try one- the engine is beautiful thing, loads of go and good rush, interestingly theough it has a very narrow powerband, between 6-8k rpm.

Though even with the lowered servicing costs, still expensive if you use it day to day. I went to the XTX from it, and with the few mods haven't looked back.

Hey Tom, you considered looking into maybe doing a dirtbike conversion if you want to stick SuMo? Could try and track down an Yammaha DT230 Lanza and put some talon rims/hubs on it. Good strong 2 stroke engine, nice change to the XTX, and similar performance.

Ah, but the new Hyper has got the water-cooled Testastretta motor - much higher revving and broader spread of power. Makes 132bhp@10000rpm in the 848 streetfighter = even more rush and go! ;)

Its all **** mate:021:

Mort, what makes you say this?
