Last ride - first ride

Post by D6Nutz »

Oh go on then..... So today was the day, last ride for the KTM and first ride for it's replacement.

Yes, it's got wonky headlights. But for the way it rides I'll learn to love them.ImageImage

Awesome!

Be good to hear how you get on with this, I’d be looking at one myself for a possible Multi replacement at some stage.

Thing is, in street mode it's pretty sedate for a 160bhp litre bike.. i doubt it's going to kill the tyres..


Unless....... Well, dynamic, which is like a different bike...

And then there is dynamic pro........ (bandit)

I don't need to go as far as Wales to find good roads, there are some great roads through Hampshire, Berkshire, and Oxfordshire if you know where to look for them. Also idiot and plod free most of the time.
