A little backstory : After my KTM died, I needed a new commuter ride, since there is the occasional time I need to drive (pick up stuff or whatever), my wife suggested that we get something we can both use so she won't be stuck without a vehicle. I suggested a scooter since that is much less...

Hi all My KTM 690 SMC had a massive engine failure last week and I am trying to figure out what to do with the bike. I have neither the time nor the know-how to rebuild the engine, so what do I do with it? I think I have the skills and the tools to pull it apart and sell it off, but that's...
