G'day guys,
Im gonna have to sell atleast one of my bikes.
I've only got a single garage,and next to no room left.
I'm hoping to sell the motard,and possibly keep the Blade.
Have another smaller project i'd like to have a crack at,but with zero room,something has to go.

The bike is complete, and goes well. Handles great.
If youre handy with the spanners, and a spray gun, and gave this the once over, it would come up great. I was hoping to do a SSSA conversion to it, and paint it up, but time and more than anything else, lack of room to do it in, has put a stop it. I only have a single garage, and its full of stuff now, bikes, pushies, work gear, etc, pulling a bike down will be impossible. Also, I may need to go OS later in the year, and have another little project Id like to try to buy and maybe make a start on.
KTM690SMR.
15,000ks
8mths REGO
Full dealer service history from previous owner, til I did the 15k service
Wings cans (plus standard ones)
Quick release KTM soft expandable top box/bag.
Metzeler M3s (95% front-75% rear)
New battery
Bike is in excellent condition.
Comes with a new 15t Front sprocket, which I havent put on yet, as it seems geared too tall. Need to be doing about 120 on highway before 6th gear feels happy.
I also bought a 25lt unit of Motorex 10/60 Cross Power. This is the only oil recommended for the 690s, and Ive only used up 1.7lt of it for its 15000km service. There is enough oil left for another 13 oil changes, or 32500 km worth of riding, if you service it every 2500ks, or 65000ks if you do it by the book, every 5000ks. The oil is worth around $600.
The main differences between the SMR and the standard SM are;
Metallic Painted Shrouds, and Orange Frame
Cast Marchesini Wheels. (Lighter and tubeless)
Better suspension. Adjustable Compression dampening. The SM is rebound only.
Front Brake Caliper is a 4 pad Radial Caliper, with Radial M/C
Radial Clutch M/C.
Looking for $10k for the KTM, and $4500 for the Blade.
I don't get out and ride as much as i want to,so having to bikes for me is a bit of a waste.
