#148 Laguna Blue SX

I like that ktm. Why did you get rid of it? I plan on getting a new bike soon. A 2016 1190sx, an s1000r, or a Tuono. Not sure which one yet. Do you guys love the 1190sx or just like it? How does it perform as a commuter? Ive read that its a grumpy commuter and a few have said they like it as one.

I loved the KTM but it just wasn't the bike for me. I've had a few xb's and it just wasn't as responsive in the corners so I wasn't as comfortable on it. It's been raining a lot here so I'm still fighting to get my break in done on the SX but I also have a Dean Adams exhaust and ECM coming which is supposed to cure a lot of the grumpiness and just make the bike a monster. My cousin has a Tuono and it has its quirks too. I'm not sure the move I would make if I was paying for a brand new one but I'm more than happy so far with the SX, granted I've been riding Erik's creations since 2003 so you could say its a biased opinion

Wow, that is sexy!!
How does it compare to the CityX?

Thanks for the info. I've decided against the Tuono. Sits too high for me, rides too aggressive for me also. I need to sit on the 1190sx and listen to it run and play with it before I decide which of the 2 to get now. S1000r offers a lot more but i really want ebr to succeed.
