Another nice BMW!

[Oscar]

I didn't connect with the motoard version but this thing is outstanding.

Really nice on the road and sweet as on the dirt. Mucho funo.

I liked it.
They seem to have sorted out the FI/Chip (finally).
Finally a BMW that feels smaller than it actually is (instead of the other way around). I did think it oversteered a bit at 50-70km/h (maybe the tyre or suspesion set up).

Retail Price $14,500ish. Still expensive for what it is.

Nice.
If they weren't so stupidly priced I'd have one of those.
Still, I'm being reunited with the press one at the CCA. See me for a ride...

Better than my DR-Z? I'd like to at least try and find out.

Lucky buggerI asked Brett about the GPS unit,he told me that a few weeks before he bought the bike a couple of Aborigines broke down in a 4wd in the middle of nowhere and died,he figured if they couldnt find there way to water then what chance he would lol so hence the GPS.To finance the KTM he parted with a beautiful much modded SP2 Honda,he seems to be enjoying the KTM,it needs to be filthy as it looks kind of strange all clean and shiney.

That 950 is an evil bike.
Anyone who rides it is breaking the law within minutes...wheelies, stoppies, knobblie burnouts...you name it.

That seat looks REAL minimalistic for long range 'adventuring'? Maybe fine for a fang in the sand thou.................

I find it very comfortable.

It's similar to the seat on the F650GS.
It's done to reduce the seat height and it works well, however it can make life awkward off road (as you can't slide back) If the F650GS is anything to go by it will be a pain after about 150 kms.

No thank you Adolf

Thatcher would do well to be as responsive to market trends.

Triumph exited the large dual sport market just as it's gaining share.

Sorry guys, I missed the mark again!! Wot I was refering to was the beautiful Kati 950....that seat 'looks' very DR650'ish I thought. Was not commenting on the lil' Bmr

I really do need to be more concise

[rogson]

Pretty hohum IMO, I think I'll wait for the DRZ700

[Big Dave]
