Colwyn bay may be a nice drive over 
I dealt with the Potteries last year over something and they were excellent.

Hi All, Thinking of buying a 790 duke, had a 1200 gs until some scroats robbed it from my garage.
So now on the look out for a new steed, I don't go a great distance anymore so I think the duke will be a good choice for urban riding and weekend blasts,
I live in near m/cr and no ktm dealer near me looks like I will have to travel to stoke for the nearest dealer
unless anybody knows any nearer or got one near me that I can have a look at,
Anyway will keep you updated on my progress.
Thanks.

Sorry to hear about the beemer, these thieves need to be castrated and left to rot.
They’ll no doubt be watching out for a replacement to take as well so you might want to up your security as a Duke is more of a scrote magnetic than a gs.
What security did you have on the old bike if you don’t mind me asking?

Had good amount of security I thought for the GS, have re done my security, dropping down in cc also value had a lot of different bikes before the GS as soon has I get a expensive bmw it gets taken.
Not had a test yet or a insurance quote so all up in air for now.

the 790 works very well for almost all riding on longer journeys most people would fit the PP seat for greater comfort
test ride one
next you will be thinking about what colour and when :grin:
Thanks, the more I look at the reviews, I think it may be the bike for me,looks like potteries for a test ride.
keep us posted it will be interesting to see what colour you choose and whats mods/optionsThanks, the more I look at the reviews, I think it may be the bike for me,looks like potteries for a test ride.
Thinking!
I got my 790 from SMC in Sheffield,not to far away from M/cr,just a nice run over the tops over Snake pass.Good dealer and very hepful and at the time they konocked me £500 off,bonus.
Get a test ride,they usually have one in.
Good luck and Im sure you wont be disappointed.

well no rush for the next 4-8 weeks with the weather
You are right no rush, 2019 plates out soon so may get a deal on 18 plates.
you should get a standard bike for 6-6.5KYou are right no rush, 2019 plates out soon so may get a deal on 18 plates.
not seen any lower than this yet
Cheers mate, Graigs at Dewsbury want 6999 for ex demo 3500 miles on it, really going to have a sit on it having coming off a big gs and before that a z1000 sx.
Will have a test if he has a helmet to hand.

Hi, He aint getting 6999 off me, They are my nearest dealer but if I like will get one from somewhere else with lower millage and cheaper.
I would be more worried about condition and options than mileage as long as its sub 6K milesHi, He aint getting 6999 off me, They are my nearest dealer but if I like will get one from somewhere else with lower millage and cheaper.
Hi, Looking at a lot of duke on various outlets with them being mainly 2018 reg condition should be fine, options I take you mean add ons?
Not seen many with akro or grips or tidys n bungs, got till spring and it will be a cash deal long has I don't spend it.
Other alternatives are street triple rs or new cb650r.

If he'd asked yesterday I could have sold him an orange one for £6000. If very very interested it's not impossible I still could.you should get a standard bike for 6-6.5K

Hi, What mileage also what year and where in the uk are you?
Cheers
