    Yes please! The Adv S is a cool bike though the 640 is probably better for type of riding I do.

    Right about the lotto though!

    Shit that's excellent buying! That's the sister bike to mine, the only other '05 imported, they were $17,000 new.

    The bloody thing looks like it's never hit the dirt - rolling or otherwise! LOL. The bars appear rolled back, chopper-style, rather than forward like a dirt bike. Must be wheelie city on that thing.

    I wonder about those 'hot grips' grips, too. The ones on my roadie are really hard and unyielding: not exactly what you want on this thumper.
    Cheers,
    Colin

    And don't forget: KTM 990 Adventure 2007.

    Had a look yesterday, they have refined the body panels quite a bit, sharpening them up reminiscent of their SM models.

    Wonder if I can take the demonstrator for a 'test' to the Brass, bring it back dirty with 2,500km extra on the clock?
    Cheers,
    Colin

    What gives it away?
    The lack of dents in the front rim?

    My dream is evolving further -

    Cape Town to Nordkap (north cape in Finland) via eastern and northern Africa, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland. All on a KTM 640 adventure. Have to make sure in Scandinavia in summer else snow a major issue. Start in Summer in Cape Town, Autumn in Northern Africa (to get past Kilimanjaro before winter), Winter and Spring in Europe (work and earn a little money on the side maybe).

    Righty O back to work.

    Apart from the time issue.. I wonder how hard such a trip would actually be to do, once the bike is purchased and shipped to Africa how much would it cost??? hmmm i'm sure it's easier than I think... i.e. probably don't actually need to win Lotto to do it....perhaps being passionate and driven to do it would be enough..... just dreaming out loud ...dreaming dreaming
