It was the "Used" bike of the year, not the big one. But a good report nonetheless.

Wonder if it would have been in the top 50 2017 new bikes..if it had been a new bike !
Given the Triumph bobber was listed at number 4 !..motorcycle journalists what do they know ?!!!

Indeed. If we listened to them, we'd all be Ewan McGregor wannabe's riding GS1200 tractors or whatever the latest bike they get paid to promote is.

I think you mean "riding GS1200 tractors, all the while wishing KTM had said 'sure!'"
That said, I think I'd get on well with a boxer twin... on a modest budget, a R1100S perhaps... or a R1200RS if I had money to burn!

Not in a million years. But that's just me.

I'm only guessing... I like big twins, and I cannot lie!
