TB if your going to test this thing at Dungog/ Chichester it will surely be a worthy test :woohoo: in fact it might not be a good idea if you test a 530 up there if you love your XR…………………………….by the time you get home the 530 will be as good as sold :laugh: and the XR will be on Ebay :laugh: :laugh:

PTW

I have ridden up there a couple of times Pete, its great eh the XR was awesome on the big hills. The XR is safe it will stay no matter what else happens I can’t see myself buying a KTM but, won’t say never but

As written elsewhere / below I will write it fair and honest, it may well be bloody awesome. I am conviced there will be some great things about it, shit there are 1000s out there and maybe I have missed the bus but I won’t stop stirring about KTMs :laugh: :laugh: truth be told and I have told many a person one of the best fun and fasted in the bush bikes I have ever had the pleasure of spending a day on in Orange was a WR250

As always TB i look forward to your unbiased opinion!

Ouch :huh: Rebore I can tell you this, if it is good I will write it. If it’s steers I will tell it. If it stops i will write it, if it goes I will write I promise. I thing about this test ride is that it is setup for my sort of weight that is the only way I could be fair. This bike doesnt belong to a dealer or a magazine etc it can be honest. I have been doing the work on the bike, I know it now I even fitted the bars up etc. I organised the suspension and fitted it so it could be fair.

But doesn’t mean I will stop stirring about KTMs :laugh:

This is Bollocks thread so maybe we should move it to the other thread hanging shit on me :laugh:

I have another ride coming up Hatto which will better than the rut fest ride we did last weekend. The bike was pretty impressive in those conditions but. Next ride will be in an area I have ridden a lot and will provide a good back to back test. Its ok so far eh nothing bad jumps out. The suspension is good there were no PDS incidents although it was mostly only 1st and 2nd gear work we did. (remember the suspension has been done by Tekniks, fully done)
More later

Good job
I have had mine done by tekniks and a world of difference was achieved, feels like a different bike-I love it even more As I’ve said to you before, It doesn’t matter which bike you ride as long as it’s orange :side: 😆 :laugh:

C’mon big fella, wheres that bike appraisal, I know it takes a long time to write all the good points down or are you hard at work earning coin for your new orange ride purchase :laugh:

Not so much a shit box after all eh?

TB’ psalm 530.1 in the book of kato

Heathens gather roud for I have blasfeimed, thou hath told you an un-trooth and I must confess “KTM’s rule and I have been missing out for near on a century”, ‘go forth and commit for I have seen the light” :whistle: :sick:

Psalm 530.2.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the death of my Honda, for years it has been on top and the best “period”, but after riding a much superior machine (insert KTM) my honda has gone to hell where it should have been years ago.

AMEN :ohmy: 😆 :laugh:

Lord Kato, I am devoted

I could make alot of money with the information i have. Any bids?? 👿

Or get knocked off….

[GregMember]

Dribble just dribble Hatto but then you never fail to deliver do you

Ha :laugh: unlike you Hatto I have things that need to be done :huh: Its got a heap of good points and some not so good. It isnt the be all and end all thats for sure but its good. In the over 500cc four stroke market it maybe the pick and I like big bore four strokes. Crash and a few others will be able to add their input when I do a decent write up (wont be in this thread either deserves a better thread than this) I will also it looks like be riding a new 450 or two soon so that will be a good gauge eh. I also will try it with a Michelin front in a week or two I decieded this morning, will be interested to see if its the tyre or the bike.

Time Hatto time and by the way the Honda wont be going anywhere, now or ever (bet you wont say that about your orange turd turner :laugh: )
