    definiely need to get laid more


    maybe I was too hasty
    seeing as they only have a pathetic 5l tank they'll run out of gas before the rider needs a drink or gets a flat.
    I'm suprised the rider didnt stop and fill up straight after the first wheelie.....

    It never hurts!

    I reckon at only 28 odd hp, you'd be surprised how long you could ride on 5L for. My RMZ450 only held 6.2l but went for a while. Well...a while by my totally unfit status.

    You got that right Crasher looking at my records Mine has a 10L tank and I did 2.7 hours and 100k ish for 9L of fuel!
    I did the T100 year before last and was on the bike for 4 hours straight
    Couldn't even stand up on the pegs for the last 1/2 lap. Mega vet class, shoulda stopped at my required 2 laps but some madness in my head wanted to do another lap to prove how young I wasn't
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    I know mate. Last moto-x I did was only a VMX meet on my 400N. Couldn't walk properly for a week, felt like I'd been rogered by a rhinoceros.

    Roger the Rhinoceros... that should be in the bike name thread.

    Some bugger stole my legs & back awhile ago too, replaced them with some geriatric ones.. Barstewards.

    Not exactly an adventure bike, but sure would be fun to go to work on.

    But in saying that this looks like a very trials based bike with the low horsepower I'd suspect it is very linear with large low down torque.
    Damn good for learning skills on but not sure if It'd be my choice for fanging around the sandpit, Thunder or Kimmies??
    Or the style of riding we mostly do around here.
    Horses for coarses though probably not much you couldn't climb in that thing!
    Well call me dumb too but my Gasser EC300 is 102kg (electric start) and 50hp with buckets loads of torque from the bottom, even better is the low centre of gravity of the two stroke makes it very nimble in tight spots, you can lean it over with bugger all weight change.

    Looks like KTM trying to achieve with a four stroke which there two strokes have had for years.

    Good to see them finally produce something with a reasonable seat height

    I see Julien Dupont was the rider, he could make a nifty 50 look cool

    The guy can ride
