that is epic man i have always wished ktm had a bigger support over this side of the sea. i really really want a 125(2) or 250(4) for trails since i am a smaller guy. nice collection hope you enjoy them

KTM's are awesome bikes , the build quality and parts used are the best you can get , they work very good straight out of the box which is surprising .

i have just ordered the new SXF 350 but its not turned up yet i cant wait ride that i think its the perfect engine size for MX etc .

As for the RC8R that is just a monster to ride its got 180 wrhp coming out of a twin its so much fun and very aggressive so suits the tracks out of the box with the way it turns handles and stops .

because of work i have got to ride them much this year so have been riding the SJ every weekend thats a whole lot of fun as well and it doesnt hurt like the bikes when you crash :-}

thats y i bought a ski, but since i moved into the mountains i really want a small bike for trails. i will have to look into the 350 sounds intriguing. i cant doo freestyle on a bike anymore back and knees can't handle another bail onto dirt. as far as the rc8r that bike is my wet dream but we still can't get them at all in the states i dont believe. well man ride safe

cheers , i know how you feel 47 breaks and fractures here , 3 ACL's done, 23 concussions , died once and was in a coma for 3.5 days .
i gave up racing at the end of last season after i hit 40 because my body stopped bouncing it just breaks :-}}}

still love to ride as much as possible but just not at 110% anymore .

 

[j0hnny]

WOW, i havent had that many problem, but thats y i stayed amateur, 11 concussions, shattered ankle, nasty messed up shoulder, and other than that i have no cartilage left in either knee or my hip (and im 24), scheduled for knee reconstruction next spring. still got many years of hard riding left, just going to stick to the water from now on

how do you like the rc8? i've got a 450sxf and a duke 2 and i was really wanting a full on street bike again.

orange is the best color and i'm very green after seeing that line up!

 

[shanes]

Dang man, you have a collection of orange. I was impressed with my buds '10 450 KTM it hauls azz and has good manners. I've been a kawi guy but I might go orange for my next bike. That 350 IS interesting let us know what u think

The RC8R is a monster i brought it as a street bike and rode it 2 times on the street , then stripped it and built it up as a track bike , its just too good for the road if i want to ride on the road ill get a twist and go scooter . i cant see the point in riding 180rwhp bike around at 10 % of what it can do , to have fun on the road you will end up dead or in jail so at least at the track i can ride it as close to the limit as my balls will let me :-}}}
