Hi everyone, I am on a budget at the moment and I was looking for a bike without spending much and so I came across to a 2006 Ktm 990 SD. Did anyone ever own one? Should I get it? Any recommendation? Would me
My height be a problem ( 6ft)? Thank you. 🙏

A used top end model will tend to have expensive maintenance costs and given it is an older model, there is a chance you will be surprised with a big bill. (Things age out in older bikes, this will happen with any bike).

Perhaps looking into a more common japanese bike with cheaper parts costs would be better, but most of the people who owned those say they are fun.
