Hi everyone. Here's an introduction of the new member in my family. It's not an Opel, it's not German, but it is Euro at least  Here's the new lady's deets: She was born in 2014 in India, lived briefly in Austria where her family comes from, nursed and taken car of by the dealership until I heard about her existence and went about adopting her. She's got SIX km's on the clock and is on her way, in a truck, from Roodepoort as I'm typing this. Here's my new baby, Katlin (Cat-lin).   A brand spanking(haha.. spanking) new KTM Duke 390. Made for traffic busting, and wheelies on weekends  _________________ Daily Lady: 2008 Yamaha YZF R6 - Hannah Project: 2005 Corsa C 1.4i Club - Charlotte "Just a 1400 with a loud exhaust and a cone filter" Build/Banter thread : viewtopic.php?f=30&t=26607Ex Daily Lady: 2014 KTM Duke 390 - Lady Katlin (RIP) Ex Adrenaline Rush: 1997 Suzuki GSX-R 750 SRAD Ex Daily: 1992 VW Fox 1600

Congratulations! Didn't rob a bank buddy. They're plotting to slowly but surely sap me dry _________________ Daily Lady: 2008 Yamaha YZF R6 - Hannah Project: 2005 Corsa C 1.4i Club - Charlotte "Just a 1400 with a loud exhaust and a cone filter" Build/Banter thread : viewtopic.php?f=30&t=26607Ex Daily Lady: 2014 KTM Duke 390 - Lady Katlin (RIP) Ex Adrenaline Rush: 1997 Suzuki GSX-R 750 SRAD Ex Daily: 1992 VW Fox 1600

So after run-in and all that I should be getting about 30km/L. It's only got an 11L fuel tank though, including reserve. Normal everyday riding should see me at about 280km if I don't go into reserve. At the current fuel price, hehe, R110 for a tank _________________ Daily Lady: 2008 Yamaha YZF R6 - Hannah Project: 2005 Corsa C 1.4i Club - Charlotte "Just a 1400 with a loud exhaust and a cone filter" Build/Banter thread : viewtopic.php?f=30&t=26607Ex Daily Lady: 2014 KTM Duke 390 - Lady Katlin (RIP) Ex Adrenaline Rush: 1997 Suzuki GSX-R 750 SRAD Ex Daily: 1992 VW Fox 1600

But it's an awesome feeling you can't get rid of. It's like when you see your first Opel. It's that nagging feeling. You want more. You NEED more. Anyway. I just got this from the dealership  _________________ Daily Lady: 2008 Yamaha YZF R6 - Hannah Project: 2005 Corsa C 1.4i Club - Charlotte "Just a 1400 with a loud exhaust and a cone filter" Build/Banter thread : viewtopic.php?f=30&t=26607Ex Daily Lady: 2014 KTM Duke 390 - Lady Katlin (RIP) Ex Adrenaline Rush: 1997 Suzuki GSX-R 750 SRAD Ex Daily: 1992 VW Fox 1600
