Hey Tom, I think you have identified a true trend amongst Rocket owners and I think it is all to do with the high performance nature of these Euro bikes.....we like high performance.
Renton, the reason I sold the 950 Adventure was that I got jacked off with it when it came to doing basic work like changing oil and filters. Like it's almost a total strip down.

PS Imagine the KTM 950 trail with the 990 Super Duke motor in place, how would you keep the knobs on the back tyre???? :-D

I think many Rocket owner love the Rocket in spite of its cruiserness. I am not really a cruiser person, but the performance of the Rocket can not be ignored.
My friend has a KTM 625 Supermotard, he told me the same thing about oil changes. There no local dealers here anyhow. That is the only thing keeping from giving my deposit tomorrow. I'm worried about how difficult they are to service. Its like buying a Ferrari 30 years ago. Its an exotic.
No Super Duke in the US for a while it seems. What a cool machine.
Renton
For those following the KTM 950 Supermoto in the US the MSRP will be $12,998. It's good to be in a market that does not know what these things are yet. Many sportbiker squids are going to be surprised when this dirt bike won't get out of their mirrors. :-D
