I’ve been looking at these recently, are there many places to ride them around the uk? Without entering a championship.
Quite a few places, Teesside, Stretton, 3 Sisters ...

Like I said above, this was just at Teesside and they run pit bike nights every tuesday, or every other Tuesday night as well as a few other events during the year.

Maybe check out your local kart track and see if they do something similar too.

From the craic I had last night it would seem that you can hire a bike to try at some events too?

I passed my test in February. This was my first proper run out instead of using the bike for my daily commute. I'm loving it.

Had a good poke around a pal's OhVale at Teesside tonight.

Proper little bit of kit they are.



They’re mega, proper little race bikes compared to the normal Chinese tatty pitbikes. Not cheap but worth every penny

That's awesome! I nearly bought a 950 Super Enduro R over here last year but it sold before I could see it, they seem to be rare even here in Austria!
Thanks! I think I've only seen one of these Super Enduro's in my entire life. Serious machines! woohoo

Good bikes, great mix of comfort, reasonable thrust and handling.
I should really have kept mine!

Warmest day of the year and I ended up heading where it was pissing down. I also await my Nip from a scamera van.

Still I enjoyed my blade.

19 SDR was in for a service so we had an 790 and 20 1290 SDR. What a bike, so so fast and the QS was so slick and it felt a lot better turning into corners. Is it 5k better than mine...No! Especially as after the service the QS felt nearly as good!

Great day out

If past models are anything to go by at some point when sales are quiet they will drop the price for a while

It was quiet in Finch when we were there, we then headed off to Clacton on sea, wow the traffic was something else. It was chav tastic once there. Had ice cream and headed back to Jim AIM.

I am really pleased with the Gen2 more than enough for me, the QS seemed a lot better after the service and I didn’t feel the urge to get the Gen3. Hopefully in a couple of years the prices will drop and I may get one

One of my lot had an MT10 bought for 9995, sold 2 years later for 7500 and 18 months after selling he said they are still going for similar money

He bought a gen 2 SDR1290 put the track pack and another (forget the name), developed an issue in his hands and was forced to sell 18 months later. He lost £6k. He also see them kicking the gen 2 for something like 11995 after he paid a lot more for it at Jim Aims

Yes I got my Gen2 pre reg for 10999, a bargain so hopefully I won’t loose too much in my ownership. I would have never paid full price £15k for a Gen2 or 3. In a couple of years there will be a new model out and I may then get the Gen3 at a bargain price.

But saying that, MT10, RSV May get updates in that time
