    the army have had bikes for years and years, they had xl250's for many years, then kawasaki klr250's, (which i think they still use at times) and the SAS use these KTM's as well, perfect transportation in the terrain, not to sure what else would be quicker across rough terrain,

    The big KTM's are mentioned in the official SAS history which was published maybe 6 months ago?
    They were used as outriders/scouts to find a clear way forward for the main SAS convoy/patrol.
    Apparently the Taliban used to call the NZ SAS "the pricklies" cos they were open-topped and bristling with firearms..
    The book refers to several times when the bikes went up neighbouring lookout hills using mostly just the back wheel.

    Anything that can get you out of trouble fast can also get you into trouble fast
