Why is it banned?
seems pretty good to me

[badlieutenant]

was wondering which country would show that on tv :D

[SPORK]

Man! There should be more bikes like that; hyper perfomance jumping wheelie machines :D

Nice soundtrack as well :)

[Motu]

A banned advertisment,apparently a KTM factory supermotard rider,seems to be in control there.

[SPORK]

So how il/leagle is it to pop a wheelie on the road?

Even if it is an 'accident'?

motard is the future!!!
Its taking (taken) off in europe and what fun to ride, and race. Would like to see a specific engine designed tho, well actually a miricle engine cause it has to be lightweight with lots of top end and bags of torque. Sortof nearly there (still would like to have a blast on one) would be one of these http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=5755&highlight=vun

I would offer an opinion if I could get the link to work!

[badlieutenant]

heres a couple of pics but nothing to do with link and more to do with thred :D

[badlieutenant]

the guy on the left is/was the world motard champ and i just like the cr ?? thingee on the right. My mate made a cr500 motard and that was fing madness. Accelerated harder than his gsxr1100 just not for as long up to about 160-170 we fiqured. Didnt want to run it too long just sitting at a high rev either been a 2 stroke and jetting hadnt been sorted. but you could pick the bike up on your own! well, lift it up off the ground at least, about 90kg's we rekon. :shit: :Punk:

Some dude took an XT600 Motard on the Grand Challenge. Seemed to handle the twisties pretty darned well too.

Could be worse, he could sleep on an electric blanket -- if the article in this morning's Dumb Onion Post is to be believed...

hmmmm.....i reckon one of those or even an aprilia tuono would be the bomb. :)

motard is the future!!!
Hell yeah. Ive converted my KX to supermotard status and have done a few races, damn its awesome, everyone with a dirt bike should try.

[sAsLEX]

Anyone still got a copy of the vid??

[SPORK]

I do! No high speed internet though... :(

KTM has a site up at http://www.990superduke.at which has the 'banned' video.

I like it. It makes me want to buy one.
Although after reading the 'drifiting' thread, I want to buy a motard instead.

[SPORK]

I like the 360 view! Fun, fun!
