New (to me) toy: 2010 KTM 990 SM-T

[mitchntx]

My family of KTMs (Penton for you old farts) just grew by one this week ...

Really haven't had an opportunity to ride it much ... just about 50 miles or so.
You notice it has no plate ... Hill County courthouse had pipes burst and destroyed the tax assessor collector's office. Just recently reopened ...

Tires are squared off with heavy "chicken strips" so it handles unpredictably
Chain needs some TLC

But it's clean and stupid low mileage for a 12 year old bike.

Did I need it? No ... but I'm retired and divorced. What else am i gonna spend my savings on? Hookers and blow?

With 106hp and 475# wet, who needs hookers or blow?
Looks good, enjoy!

Those are great fun and yours looks in great condition. I had the old 950SM. Now riding a 990 Adventure that I’ve had for the last 8 years. I miss the agility of the supermoto. If you can find the Akrapovic cans for it, they’re worth the money.

As luck might have it, the investment house that used to be the caretaker of my investments recently had to refund a bunch of fees they had been charging over a 5 year period. It's just enough to cover a Rottweiller air intake and a set of Wings bolt-ons ....
