Hows about you take us for a Ride eg write us a little road test, a seat off the paint ride impression with some comments on low end, touring ability ,top speed etc , perhaps this bike will suit all my needs as I am now looking at doing some Track days as well, So whats it like, sand, metal, and the curvy road bits, obviosly your tires are a bit to off road orientated for fast road, but a spare set off wheels fitted with some Sticky road tires would fix that,
Cheers

without detracting from the guys incredible effort - wouldn't it be cheaper, quicker and have a whole lot more resale value if he just brought a super enduro?

So what happened to Honda - why don't they make something like this? They've got the technology to whip KTM. What's wrong with them? Are they the microsoft of the bike world?

Cause they're afraid of going up against Suzuki and Kawasaki's offerings in the big-big-bore trailie marketplace.
