The demo bike is non-abs, so I can't test that. But if I get one, it will be ABS for sure.

Black and white with orange decals is 2 wheeled sex.

Is KTM not making many of these cause they seem very hard to find. What's with the limited availability.

My 2008 smt with newly installed Shad SH37 box.

I traded my orange side panels to a guy in the Netherlands for his gloss black ones. I like it!

[Fubars]

All black. Cool.

Time for a BUMP!

This is my 2010 SM-T the day I bought her home.
I had a set of Akro's fitted from the dealer along with a performance airfilter and remap.

Apart from that she is stock for now (goodies coming soon :) )

All I can say is what an awesome bike! There isn't much that it cannot do.

Hi all,

I liked the SMT the moment it came out. I am kind of considering it now (as well as the new MTS1200). I had a couple of questions and was wondering whether you could help me find the answers.

1. I wanted to see whether you have ran into any issues with the bike so far. I used to own a 2006 950SM. And the only issue I had with it in 10K miles was a faulty kick stand.

2. Do you guys also service it yourselves? I realize that a 4500mi service is just an oil change. But the 9K service is a bit bigger than that ...

3. Have anyone of you tried fitting either a Givi Trekker or a Trax top box on your SMT? I would really want to see how it looks with it.

4. And finally would you mind sharing what kind of a discount were you able to get from the stealers here in the US? I know that MSRP is 14K. But it never hurts to negotiate, right?

Thanks in advance.

1. No issues at 8,000 miles.

2. I don't plan on it now, but who knows. I'll do oil changes and radiator flushes though.

3. check out the SMT990 forum. There's a guy there that has the full Trax set-up. They look good.

4. I got mine in May 2010. Dealer gave me $300 off MSRP and threw in a set of the white side panels, as well as discounts on the skid plate, crash bars, and heated grips.

I got a 2010 demo for $11K, with the Zumo GPS deal. There are some 2010's around..GP in San Diego has one, Thousand Oaks KTM has one advertised for $12K.

I just have to say that this bike is really a well balanced, well thought out, and well manufactured bike.

My bike is en route from FunCity Cycle Mart in Moline, Illinois, so can't help on questions 1-3. I got a very good deal from them at $12,600 + $98 document fees...white 2011 with zero miles on it...not a demo. So, even with shipping, it comes in cheaper than I have seen anywhere else. Cheers, Steve.

Wow, isn't MSRP $13999 for a brand new 2011? Very good deal you got there.
