    The normal huskies are still awesome bikes.
    The one i rode was owned by a friend of mine that raced one and had a road legal one for "Practise".......they very cool but eat money like my wife with a gold card.

    a right shit of a thing around town, it hated the traffic, surged and vibrated like a diesel powered night stand stick and had the worst fuel range possible.........oh and finger nail scratches all over aafter he had to drag me off it/.........give me one

    I'd be keen on one. But I think an XR650R would suit me better. I need something that can handle the k's without costing me so much.

    That NOX belonged to my workmate before he sold it to Tony. Last thing I heard is that it went BOOM!

    Cool bike though. That was the very first motard I had ever seen.

    Okay if you insist, this is my KTM525 SMR (yes a genuine smr) SMR means super moto racer, most KTM Motards are EXC models, but this has the titanium bits in the engine, and on the body work, it has the huge Beringer 4 pot front Brakes and two pot back brakes as well as the huge Whitepower front and rear shocks which are fully adjustable.

    I raced it a few weeks ago and got owned mostly because it was geared all short for the long track, I have modded this and expect to do better this weekend, I have opened up the pipe and re geared it, as well as doing some new brake pads, also got it dynoed on Saturday, throws out 45.4 hp and the wheel, so add 15% to that and its 52.21 at the crank.

    The bike rides awesome, very precise handling and as fast as hell.

    Loving it !

    i cant beleive it only has 45 at the wheel?
    are you sure about that?
    my wr450 puts out 44.5 and its the tourer of 450's
    i have heard 450's with very light mods can put out up to and over 50 at the wheel.
    i would have expected more from a 525 and especially a factory smr, must have a bucket load of torque?

    looks pretty sweet mate
    Bring on the weekend

    Hi, yup sure as a sure thing, it has a long stroke engine and is a torque monster for sure, close ratio gear box as well so its long legged.
