The Mk 2 is the best looking I agree.

KTM 950 SUPERMOTO Cagiva - yeah! Ach you didn't really want parts for it anyway.
KTM - yeah! They change your engine under warranty regularly so don't need to worry about servicing!
Get a 9 and tweak it, you know it makes sense!

Andy33 have ya tried a V-Strom ?? im curious to know how good they are with that Suzi lump as the power plant ??I tried both a V-strom and TDM9 at Mission. The strom is obviously more powerful and was great fun, but you really 'feel the twin' all the time - it buzzes even at high revs. Perhaps you get used to it, but it was a bit wearing.
It's also 100mm wider at the front (thats 75mm wider than my gate!). You can tell which I preferred.

it might be worth spending some time at regular intervals sitting astride a scaffolding tube, so you can build up resistance to sitting on the KTM seat for more than 30 miles at a time.
ps. get someone to shake one end of the scaffold tube for a more realistic effect.

I hope you're not going to park your new bike in my shed, thats exactly the same access width I have and theres only room for one. Missus moans all the time now. The 900 is the way to go, bags more fun than the Vstrom 
, you can sit on it longer than the others and ride it longer as it spends less time being fuelled - why do they put such small tanks on bikes 
(other than to keep the weight and C of G down) ??????
