Matt H it all depends on what you like. I like the lighter weight of the ktm and I like ripping wheelies in pretty much every gear. But the torque on the hyper is crazy compared to the ktm. There both expensive so I’d say just personal preference. Lighter weight = better in corners lol
@@ColumbiaBros how expensive is servicing on the KTM? I know the Ducati is like 1500 for a major service, but I can't find any info on how expensive a valve check is on an smcr
Matt H ktm is really not bad at all I do the service myself and they sell kits that come with oil and filters and kits for other services as well. If your handy I learned it all on TH-cam. I haven’t done my valve adjustments yet I’m still only at 1896 miles. But when the tome comes I will let you know I’ll make a video on it
Where in PA? I'm in PA as well with a 2019 smcr
How far away do you live from the tail of the dragon?
