Problem is the fuel range 44mpg to 4.8 US gallons equates to 3.9 imperial gallons which means only 173 miles to a full tank ;)

 

Noooooo, 44mpg x 4.8gallons = 211.2miles to a full tank.

Tell me about it.
I once knew a guy who, in a moment of poor judgement bought an orange bike😘

Well I was one of the regular contributors on this here forum, but my account got lost when the site was hacked. My moment of glory was the cold start repair summary.

I sold my TDM due to personal circumstances at the time...a big regret for me in hindsight.

The KTM was a fantastic bike. Great to ride, comfortable blah blah. 35mpg, 160 mile tank range. Services every 4000 miles, Major service at 8000 miles. 54 fittings to do, just for an intermediate oil change. For commuting it just wasn't the right bike for me.

The new 1050 looks interesting, so does the Tracer. Theoretically the R1250GS ticks all the boxes...But...

Any idea what it'll cost ? :unsure2:

 

If the UK prices are proportional to the USA prices then using:-

 

1. USA cost FJ-09 $10490

 

2. UK cost MT-09  £6949

 

3. USA cost FZ-09 $7990

 

 UK cost Tracer / FJ-09 = (2 ÷ 3) x 1 = £9123

 

The "upgrade" to Tracer/FJ is at an increase of 31% over the MT/FZ-09, in the States at least. Will it be different over here?

 

Start saving!!

I was in my local dealer yesterday. It will be less than that. I should know for sure Monday, but I think more like 8500-8800

Well I've seen it now in all it's lack of glory and it looks even worse. It just looks cheap and unpleasing on the eye. The new Triumph XC is a stunning looker though.

Hi All  I went into 5-ways bike shop at weekend and enquired about the Tracer and was told it would come out in April approx and would be close to £8100.

Was looking forward to seeing the tracer but, sat on it today at the show and was sorely disappointed. I now think it is horrible.
But tried the new BMW it was great but £12500 basic.
