KTMs new advertising line

400 million Indians can’t be wrong
a
and a quote from Mr Mahatma S Mahelmet

“Every Saturday i take the whole family to the markets on our trusty KTM, and an added bonus is the Kid displacement system, everytime we hit a pothole we have less children to feed, soon it will be just my wife & I, especially after i get my mother inlaw to sit on the rear and ride to New Delhi, praise be Ganeesha”

Ok so KTM will be owned by an indian company, this is somewhat different to being made in India, which once was an assurance of crud, but now just means it was made in India.
The funny thing about this is KTM has achieved great if not unprecedented sales worldwide, but still runs out of capital? these would be the same group of beancounters that took the money away for linkages late last century?

Oh there’s so much good material in this that one can’t begin to fathom how bad KTM diehards must be feeling….

anyone for Khicken Tandori Mains?

and seeing as the Pakistanis always are envious of Indias achievements maybe they will acquire Gas Gas from trying to digest the Orange spices.

Does this mean you cannot herd the cattle on a KTM, or that only Cows are allowed to ride KTMs, or every KTM comes with a free Ganesha to mount on your tank, or that you must prey to Chrishna the new guiding light of KTM.

What happens when you cross an Austrain with an Indian?

I’ll be there in a costume that will remind everyone of a half assed derlict dirtbike nutcase, no riding jersey, just a singlet with a ratty torn pressure suit, grey and black pants, and dirty black boots. grey helmet, army camo backpack, in fact flashest thing about my outfit will be red Goggles.

Or will I…………

(Menace got any spare Spidy outfits in blue only?)

You will find that Phil has edited the original post to reflect the lower price of $8500 after he posted the price of $8990. I am presuming the new “out the door she goes price” is now $8500 a bloody good buy in any man’s book. I wish I could warrant owning it.

YEP They have funny ways those mid-northcoasters STM, maybe so they can have room to haggle

[Bruce CurtisMember]

Yep I knew the bigger ADV bikes had linkages, good units too, I think I mentioned a mate of mine has one fully setup for a partial world tour after his wife and him split and they had to liquidate their assets.

KTM make some great bikes, the others have PDS…

[Bruce CurtisMember]

Yep welcome to the world of PDS where every bump is a crapshoot….

but we don’t have to grease linkages… Hrrrmmmph, so that makes it all OK….

Dampening as you are probably aware of I actually got NP on this one…Survey the results for “dampen” and you will see it sits inside the boundaries of that which you speak.

an example that you can locate without a GPS

Been using the smaller version for chainsaws for years now, excellent stuff, even an idiot can do it…. I have proven that many a time in training, they maynot be able to start the saw, but by crikey they don’t overfill them as they cutout when the tank is full.

I’m defnitely no welder/biolermaker, but a few years ago I had no problem grating a XR250 Cradle into a CR250 chassis, once the frame is bare and you clean it up, any half decent monkey witha reasonable MIG/TIG will pee it in. The best way imho is to tack it all and then work from side to side as to minimise farme pull and trying to keep it cool as you go, rather than attack it all at once.

I agree with the suspension Ollie, the Showa forks are just so damn good out of the box, everyone else should hang their heads in shame (WP, KYB-kayaba, OHLINs, Mazzochi et al), but unfortunately they are not representative of all of the bikes’ traits, still not bad 4Ts for a 4T…..

[Bruce CurtisMember]

Gay Ernie…. that was what we used to say.
Always had a good rep for boots too.

[Bruce CurtisMember]

Pre-running a course, now that’s a term I haven’t heard in donkeys, once upon a time we used to “walk the track” as well, but i guess it’s better not to at our ages, heart attacks and all that…….
