I've come up with another idea - keep the pcx so I've got a frugal, practical bike and see if I can find a decent KTM 690 R. The 690's go for about £5500 - £6000 for a decent one.

Good idea save for one thing.
A KTM 690 R is a steaming pile of turds compared to other options which cost much less.

It's one of the best bikes I've ridden. We're you in a bad mood when you tried one?

Haven't ridden one, I just don't like them.
Or anything that has a touch of "off-road" about it.

That seems like a silly reason to not like a bike.

I've just signed away the KTM and the PCX
I got £3800 trade in for the two against a brand new 690. That's a better price than I was expecting. I will really miss the pcx - I have it for another week before I get the 690 so I'll have to get as many groceries as I can before then.
Anybody interested in my bar muffs or the givi tunnel bag? In my opinion the bar muffs a 'must have' for UK winters, the Givi tunnel bag is not my favourite thing in the World but it has its uses.

I can understand why you may think it silly, however that's the way it is.

Not sure how the figure was split between the bikes. They now have it for sale at £3195!
