    Must be all that time riding dirt bikes - Gimme stuff like carbon fibre, bright lights and gee gaws plus a surfiet of horsepower and I'm done..

    My KTM at 100ish is good on the road, a leetle excessive on gravel and downright lethal on wet grass or clay.

    Now that I've nearly finished modifying it to suit, the Adventure is a great all rounder. It needs/needed Crash bars, panniers (the mounts double as crash bars),hot grips, staintunes, high front fender, higher seat and bar risers and a steady supply of Continental TKC's.....perfect.

    I was pretty ambivalent about the B-King. It's a decent bike but not for me.

    My issues:
    Bugger all feel in the front brakes
    Get my leathers stuck under the tank flanges
    Soft power delivery
    No real sensation of speed - can be a bit dangerous, thats besides the boring factor.

    As I said, not the bike for me, but not a bad bike. Tons of thrust.

    As I said, I'm easily impressed.
    What sort of KTM have you got?

    Did have a Triumph Speed Four when I rode the B-King though...
