Adventure Bike Rider Forum

Apart from that it seems the only place you'll see advertising for motorbikes is in motorbike targeted media which probably attracts a lower number of new riders than IS get recruits from UK mosques.

you owe me a keyboard if I can't get my tea out of it :pinch: :laugh:

cheers Spud

the most important thing is the customer is happy

p.s.
actually for less money you can get F800GS, so are you saying AT is much better?

That's what the man said, and quite rightly, the best bike for himself is all Al is concerned about (thumbs)

The more AT's that I see on the road and parked up in car parks, the more I like the look of them (thumbs) . I heard one with an Akropovic exhaust which sounded very fruity (thumbs) .

Have a close look Phil, it's a road bike dressed up, great until you drop it.

Yes, I thought that too when I looked at them at the NEC show.
Alright for a Fireroad I guess, rather than a 'fast' trail ride on the Downs?

One recently came on a KTM ride out. Went well, ridden by a very capable rider.
(who incidently loved the DCT except when he wanted to lighten the front)

We all commented how vulnerable the crankcases looked to be if dropped onto rocks.
The rider footpegs are ...embarrassingly naff.

Reminded us of the early GS800s- which satisfyingly exploded into many pieces when dropped!

Look good though.
