If it fits your purpose a fantastic weapon, probably overkill for many of us trailriders. Shame that KTM did not either make the orange one or the white one in to a tamed down adv bike aka PR7.

Was that with Midwest Racing. I was there...and little did I know it, but my heart was playing up, badly!

Yes, all is good here, thanks Gary.

A bit quiet, no stepgrandchildren allowed. But I'm doing the valves on the 950...in fact, I've done the valves on the 950, now I have to remember where all the various bits of pipework go.

Stay well, mate.

Pondering where I had posted some stuff on this bike I found we have two threads, this being the other:

viewtopic.php?f=23&t=46131

I suppose it would be too complicated to merge them, is there something else clever that could be done?

Meant to say: Yes still got it! Been meaning to put some words down, and now there is some hope of riding it soon I feel a little more motivated to do just that :)

Is it any good?
We buy things we don't need



With money we don't have



To impress people we don't even like
