I am considering adding a bike to the stable. I am going to test ride a KTM SMT soon.

I am only considering another brand bike due to future parts availability. I still love my Uly!!!

Does anyone own a SMT? Has anyone tested one?

I'm a big fan of KTM, though alot of the 990s had water pump failures. My other issue is there are not many dealers in MN. Parts and service are few and far between. At least with the Buell I can do alot of it myself.

Isn't that the bike that requires a whole complicated procedure to do an oil change? Or is that another KTM?

I saw one up close a year or so ago, it looks like a viable replacement, as close as one is going to get....for right now, but it definitely is not a Uly.

Saw an mag article about it a while ago.
Looks like a really fun bike and that 90 degree twin should be smooth and fast.
Let us know what you think after a test ride.
