Hi Guys,

Thought I better do an intro. Just purchased my second SD, Had an 06 a few years ago, a number of bikes since then. Have added a new 2016 SD (dealer run out special) to the garage. Pick up on Tuesday, do have one quick question, with the traction control on will it power wheelie a little, a lot, not at all?

it will power wheelie easy, put a link pipe on and an acra muffler with ktm mapping and it will wheelie in 4th wellcome.

Rode home, decided to take the scenic way home up the coast. (about 90km). Lets just say I have confirmation of what they do.
I did almost see myself getting ready to back the bike into a corner and realised that maybe not on my first ride.
One hell of a fun bike to ride hehe.

I was up your way a few months back on the GT, took it on a IMOC ride (italian motorcycle owners club) Did those nice windie back roads along the coast to Russel, i wore a set of M7RRs out on that trip (3500Ks). Ive booked my ferry for the Burt Monroe trip, the GT is going to be awesome down there.

My bad, just realised this is the GT intro, ooops. Sorry.

That would be Old Russel Road. One of my favs.

Cheers 2-slo......yeah right,.... on a 1290Gt ......

Don't worry about the intro category......as you can see from other threads we all jump in and yarn on

Just keep in mind the Gt will get softer and plusher and nicer (and faster ) as you grind out more kays.

Mine was showing it's true character by about 3-5000km, and now at 10,300km it is such a sweetie (but only a twist of the wrist away from psycho.. )......yet it is totally usable every day......

Ha......that reminds me......due to a weird virus sapping my confidence I have only clocked up 300kms since Oct 1........ boy-o-boy am I peeved off with that ........ so now it's xmas break and the temps are either hot or hotter......guess I'll be hitting the roads at 4.30am

.......

Ooopps again. I mean't this page is GT intro page, Im on R.

[Aussie Dave]

Ahaha...... a spy from the dark side ......but we're related anyway.....GT just has extra clothes
