Got excited, but it's only a short trackday video. Oh, well.

He's bought an 899. Mmm.

Genuinely thought he'd go for the BMW again after the review, then again, the 899 is a stunning bike.

Insanely lucky boy! Pretty shocking tbh.

Oh and judging by the pic on Facebook he already has his 899.

Lovely bike.

So much speculation. The other group is saying 1290 Superduke R. He has a track bike, he has a commuter bike so it has to be the KTM for the weekends.

He does have an 899, confirmed it in his Facebook status yesterday saying he'd done 300 miles on it yesterday and had another 300 to go before he could start using the engine properly.

I think he still has his old GSXR750 SRAD too, judging by a video a little while ago.

Honestly quite surprised he bought an 899 though.

I think it makes sense if you've already had the S1000RR. Life's about variety after all.

I read that the Super Duke was a year long loan from KTM Europe as part of some promo campaign. The winner of best 'Vlogger' keeps the bike.

KTM will no doubt be pissed off if he's ragging around on the Panigale all the time!

The London rant one was brilliant.

It's like an angry Peep Show on bikes

I think there is some sense in his purchase, he rode a friend's Ducati for a while on his Spain trip and said it was amazing when you're riding it properly, but did a commute video review and said it was awful to ride in traffic and at lower speeds. In the video review for the 899 he mentions how the 899 has a great character, a sweet spot of power for every day use etc, the lack of which was the reason he sold the BMW, as he thought it was just too competent and characterless, to the point of being a bit anodyne.
