No not a track day in the sun, but with a bit of time on my hands I've been out on a test ride this morning on a KTM 1290 Superadventure complete with 3 stage heated rider and pillion seats!!!
With heated seats on 'max' (all bikes in the UK should have these!!), the suspension in 'street' and the throttle set to 'sport' the missus and I have had brilliant fun using all 160 bhp around the South Lincs race track, er I mean our local roads, in total comfort. I've been hacking about on my 2010 GSA while the S1K is tucked up in the garage and while I really enjoy riding it, it is a heavy, slightly lethargic beast. The Superadventure is more like a cross between your favorite armchair and an RC8R! Hmm, decisions, decisions.... A couple of pics of the bike outside Chris Walker's caff:
