Both great bikes. I'd like to get me something smaller to do parking lot drills. A 390 would be perfect. I have a set of orange engine guards (Hepco & Becker) for the 790 that I bought hoping it would fit the 890, but the suspension components are a little bigger. Let me know if you're interested, I'll give you a good deal.

Great Riding! I still need to make it out to Harris Hill. I have a Street Triple 765 and also have issues with autoblip getting "stuck". Wonder what is? Trying to grab gears too fast?
@CubanRider3 жыл бұрын
Harris Hill is awesome man. Unfortunately it's members only and they only open it up to track days once or twice a year. I think that if you know someone who is a member, they can get you in one day or something like that. I think my issue with the autoblip is that the KTM is more RPM dependent, it likes being on those high RPM when downshifting. My BMW in comparison downshifts pretty much at any RPM, probably one of the best autoblips in the market, and it's 6 years old!
