I want, need , have to, must have one!!!
Anyone know of one for sale or an owners arm I can twist???
Long shot I know but it was the same story with my vintage Sunbeam S7 and that worked out eventually…..
It’s the ultimate adventure bike in my worthless opinion.


Awesome machines but rare as hens teeth.
There are a few SM’s around but they have different front suspension, no leading axle fork. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/sports/auction-1116718211.htm
Otherwise buy @cooneyr’s 990, you probably won’t find one better.

I loved my 950 but it was physically too big for me, but geez it gave me a big grin everytime I rode it.
Had a 990 Superduke and a mates got a 990 SMR that I’ve had on long term loan previously.
While they are awesome bikes in their own right, I prefer the 950SE.
It’s got the chassis and engine I’ve always wanted.
Hens teeth are dime-a-dozen compared to these things!!
You got a death wish or something? I hope you have all your life and health policises in order as they are suicide machines. I have ridden one and boy it was an interesting event. Although I would love to own one, with my riding skills i could only use first 5% of its potential while the other 95% would go to waste. Great bike though, and I salute you sir for the size of your balls , and wallet for wanting to own one
Don’t know the size of my balls, wife won’t let me into her handbag to see them!
I guy I know just imported one from South Africa, an 07 with 80,000km
Landed it owns his 16k.
I’m still keen!!!!
How about converting a Adventure to a SE?
They don’t look too bad
And when you get it, you put this kit on:
Kit 9×0
But then whats the point of having an SE?
Bought a 2008 KTM 950 Super Enduro last night. I got it just after 30 minutes of the listing being placed.
I will not lose any money on this one, as they are very popular. The seller had an offer over $1000 more than mine but he has promised it to me.
I pick it up or get it delivered Wed/Thur.
You bought that? Bastard. If he’d wanted to swap a setup dr it would have been mine.
P.s stopped at your place in Te Aroha about 2 weeks ago but no answer.
