    Greetings! My very first post here. Been riding the past 57 years (jip - 70 now). Currently have a Gen. 3 KTM 1290 Super Duke R, a KTM 890R Duke and bought my wife a Trident 660 a year ago. The 660 is a very underrated bike! Last week I took the 660 to my local dealer for the yearly oil service and got a loan bike to ride the 120 km back home - a 2022 Speed Twin 1200! I enjoyed the bike and thinking of buying it. Seems like a nice relaxed bike. Good choice?? Regards!

    You’ll probably be thinking about upgrading the rear shocks some time
    These are listed in parts/accessories/clothing section.
