She's a poorly looked after 2003 KTM LC4 Supermotard. She has loads of issues. But considering what I paid... Deal of the week imho.

Welcome back
You will get mixed opinions about any dealership. Personally, I rode there one afternoon (used to live in Midrand) and for me the fact that sales people don't rush over and actually allow you to browse first is a big plus. some people may see this as poor customer service. Regarding the types of bikes, lots of Hyosung, Boulevards, delivery bikes. there were a few BMW's and Harleys as well - so IMO not a big variety.

Engine feels toight as a toiger. But the previous owner apparently a huge fan of drill and zip-tie instead of replace. So its off to Edenvale at lunch to get an idea of projects costs. Switchgear. Plastics. Mirrors. Rear tyre. Grips. The list is long... But looking forward to getting her back to stock.

doesn't look too out of shape - actually looks very neat for the model - a little more love will go a long way

Lol no. The elephant guards the house of the previous owner. Pic snapped yesterday while I was giving her the once over. She ran like a beast all the way from Emalahleni back home last night. So mechanically she's good. But cant say much for the hatchet job done on the electrics and farkles...

Lots of mileage.
Also it's the now three generations old model.
Also mine exploded.
But if you don't kind the miles it's a great bike

I dont think yours is rare enough for them to be interested. Well not yet. Give it another 3 years. When all the Virago's are extinct then... Maybe.
Have been. Lovely day out.
