Both have questionable beauty in the exhaust (though I think that the Ducati is worse), but I am changing nothing, so the choice is as is.The KTM with a full system, get rid of that ergonomic sess-pit of an exhaust - today I was told I was a beautiful shape for a man, that exhaust is like having @Robarano strapped to the side of your bike instead of an exhaust shaped like me - svelt & somewhat perfect, not my words
You asked for opinions, as yours are clearly flawed, so live with it, get the KTM, change the shit exhaust and be well trendy

Daftest question of the year award
Actually, a sound question: today, I am doing will be writing and have just had a long call with the guy doing it, and now I need a rest! Tomorrow, I have Ringo Starr coming for a jam, with my brother joining in on keyboards, so Wednesday is the target.Daftest question of the year award
Indeed. The salient point
If that is the case why buy new and suffer instant depreciation and lets be honest, neither of your two suggestions is going to win any awards for beauty.Indeed. The salient point
Because if I was to get something, there would be a part-ex, so I would want to use a dealer, and I was to buy something then I may as well buy new as this will be for keeps.If that is the case why buy new and suffer instant depreciation and lets be honest, neither of your two suggestions is going to win any awards for beauty.
Why not consider something like a Superlight like this ?

If I wasnt expecting to move house imminently and possibly scratching behind the sofa for a few quid I`d be keen on that. They look great in yellow and it is most unlikely to shed loads of value. They are great to ride too should you ever get to that point.
So, if they are shit, what isn't?
I am NOT buying for an investment, but to enjoy riding and explore. And whilst I have a clean licence at present, there is a long queue of people waiting to give me the, "I told you so", if I dirty it. I don't need a litre rocket ship, but just a good road bike. And I do not want heavy.
Have you considered the Yamaha XSR900 ? If I was after a new Monster type bike that would be on my list to try. I know a couple of people who them and really rate them . Sadly beaten with the ugly stick at birth but you cant have everything can you?
If I go Jap, then there are a few makes of Yamaha, or Kawasaki, that I would consider and that model had not come up on my radar. I am not swooned by its looks, but not repelled. I will get down to Fowlers when I get out on my KTM (that’s where it came from) and have a browse, Apart from KTM, they do Yam and Kawasaki as well. I will do a bit more research on that model, as it is not out of question. Thanks for the steer!

The older model, up to 2020 was not so ugly but I know you are keen to buy brand new .
There are a few @ £9650 which seems a decent offer. Mind you last year when I was looking for an Adventure type bike and before I bought my Stelvio I was tempted by the Suzuki Vstrom 1050 . Another ugly thing but even now brand new from £8500 ish which looks cracking value. Heavy bikes though.
