    I have the same bike and am wondering if you adjusted your shift pedal. I can't figure it out

      I have one which is not an "on board" unfortunately. But it gives my plus points and negative points. May be of some help?

    Why did you sell the KTM? I’m also not riding at the moment which is soooo frustrating as the roads are empty.

      I loved my super adventure s but to be honest ktm were horrible to deal with after the sale. I had alit of issues and no resolution to them from ktm. All they said was "yea that's known to happen" or "that's never happened before" but they never fixed things. So I sold both my super adventure s and My gt because the customer service from 2 shops was shocking. Its a shame because the super adventure was an amazing bike

      If you have to ride a bike to work, fair enough, but otherwise, dont get the bike out you selfish bastards. Sorry for the rant, stay safe DBD.

      100 percent agree. I had to work so I made my short commute to work work, but there are some real selfish people out there that are really putting others at risk. Shame really, all because it's nice weather in the UK, doesn't give you an excuse to go to the coast or something.... Stay safe bud

      Deadbug Davey Sorry to hear that. I’ve also had issues with my bike but KTM have put everything right so far.

      I had failures on little things like panniers and major ones like the dash just going blank as I was riding. Rear brake light switch failures were a common issue too! The final straw was the panniers, I'm type 1 diabetic and had my insulin pump in one of the panniers when I got caught in a rain storm and the panniers leaked so much it soaked my pump which obviously my life depends on. I reported it to ktm straight away and all the guy said was "yea the panniers are known to leak" then he said "theres no point bringing them to the shop as they can't fix it" he then blamed me for possibly putting the seal in incorrectly..... Never again!

    Hi, sneaked across from your fjr1300 review, say no more😅
    I test rode the exact same bike Versys in black/white last October, it wasn't the best of test rides, as roads greasy and dealer not relaxed (knob)
    Agree with you, it's an acquired taste looks wise!
    What's your opinion on the quickshift? As it felt a bit spongy from memory? or it could have been me from dealer stress😅And do you think it's worth the extra over base model? suspension etc
    I'm still considering this bike (or base model) as carry a passenger often, many thanks:-)

      I have another review of this bike from months ago that hasn't been uploaded.... I must upload it and make a more up to date review. The first one the bike had 2000 miles on it now its around 5000....if I do another video is there any points you would like me to hit on?
