Maybe I’m being dumb but isn’t the A10 a twin and the gold star was only ever a single?
You aren't being dumb.But there was a Rocket Gold Star, which was a twin and used a tuned A10 motor.

I also hope you have fun on it. It is a personal thing, but the looks do nothing for me, and I'm a big KTM fan. Something about the upper fairing/headlight cowl/windshield just looks weird to me.
I too am a KTM fan and I've had several (albeit dirt bikes) going all the way back to the late eighties and I'm afraid I have to agree there. I think it's hideous gareth_r said:

Covered about 50 miles offroad today in Romania in perfect conditions. Some sections were extremely gnarly and rocky, others gravel and wet mud. Just epic day tooped off by a 50miler back along the ribboned tarmac of the Transalpina. Transfagarasan tomorrow.

Was supposed to be leaving this coming Sunday for Romania but we've put it off for next year due to Covid. The hotels have all been sound and let us move the bookings to next year.
