That is cool

It is cool! The price isn't so cool though NZ price will be around $13500 ($500 less than an XC350) Would anyone buy one for that?

Shit no, the way I ride it would be worth about $500 in a week.:msn-wink:

Yes, but to facilitate that purchase, I would have to be considerably more wealthy than I am at the moment, as it would have to be in an addition to the other 350 Kato I own. I wouldn't replace it with a Freeride in a million years...

They will sell plenty of those bikes just from the advertisement:) Great riding country, has to be the Alps....Nice!
Entry level Enduro, not a trophy winner, maybe if you buy one it transforms your riding ability :)

​What's that Nordie?
TT350.
Nordiebro has been winning cross country races on his and even classic mx races against CR500's.
Softer, torquey engine, good suspension (xr400 front, yss rear).
All the power makes it to the ground and isn't wasted as wheel spin.

115kg dry but it hasn't got a plastic subframe and is carrying 4L more fuel.

I would like an electric leg though.

If I had the money, that KTM would be in my shed.

I don't have the readies either. Might still own one if the price drops far enough before my body does.

I've said for fook'n years that less is more, p'ticularly in typical NZ conditions.

Shudup.


Besides, I've got no illusions of competence, so I might as well indulge in excess.

Jeez, you're lucky. I'm still 6 months away from attaining "pure incompetence" levels Ben tells me.

350 Free Ride is probably just what the doctor ordered I reckon.

Trashy I'd like one now if it had a decent fuel tank - that tank is just way too small to do any sort of ride like a Pukemanu - but it is the right sort of bike for us old small guys that started out on 70's trail bikes.

Also did I say for those that saw "On Any Sunday" the original when it was released in theatres back in the day lol.
