This weekend was a low pressure, low ceilings VFR, windy and bumpy. Due to maintenance and weather, I couldn’t fly my aircraft for over a month, so I was excited to finally get into the air. Aircraft performed flawlessly, I did 10kt+ crosswind component landings and enjoyed hours in the air!!

I’ve been 2nd owner of this KTM Duke 390 for over six years and put 9k miles on it. It never failed me and taught me a lot. This was my fourth motorcycle and now is replaced by sixth - the Honda CB750 Hornet.
My asking price is $2,900, but I’m realistic and flexible. This bike is ready to go, nothing needs work, just jump on it and enjoy. This is a perfect first bike or an extra bike for those after work but before dinner quick mountain “brrraaaps” 🏍️.
