We had no options a few years ago. The price still needs to come down, but having some choice is a step in the right direction

Maybe if they priced their range competitively they wouldn’t still have 22 models on Dealers floors…

Comment on Royal Enfield | Meteor 350: Cruise Easy Offer by Ted https://www.mcnews.com.au/royal-enfield-meteor-350-cruise-easy-offer/#comment-578182 Wed, 15 May 2024 08:00:11 +0000 https://www.mcnews.com.au/?p=477744#comment-578182 When they can sell you a GT650 with such atrocious fork springs as my daughters bike came with, I won’t be buying another Royal Enfield.
The shocks aren’t great either, and they haven’t done anything about the awful, tiny rear brake pedal.
Avoid.
I recommended a Japanese bike but she liked the retro cafe racer style.

Comment on KTM 890 SMT Review | 3500 km across Europe by Kamil C https://www.mcnews.com.au/ktm-890-smt-review-test-0/#comment-578178 Sun, 12 May 2024 21:31:41 +0000 https://www.mcnews.com.au/?p=449796#comment-578178 I`ve seen your youtube relation many times before I`ve purchased mine. I`m from Poland so my plan was to follow same travel trough alps sooner or later. Was, because since new I`m havin troubles with counter shaft/ sump oil leackage. It was supposed to be repaired at 1000km service but Not.. Now 1500 km and today my bike will be picked up by trailer to KTM service.

There`s more: In my opinion the from breaks are kinda vibrating at first bites, it`s really remarkable. I hadn`t that on duke 125/390, is it normal ? I don`t know, but it isn`t a good feeling.
More: the front suspension has a regulation yes but it`s not making it`s job: at the range 50-65 km/h the fork is too stiff and isn`t amortising the smooth road oscillations, it results in the bumpy feeling of road. I`m corious if its also exising on the ADV models…

Generally, besides all the positive WOW, there`s also a lot of dissapointments..
