dsfox 0 Posted September 14, 2010 Looks good. What are you going to do with your "not real" bike now? I LOVE KTM too, BUT in all fairness, my KLX has always been a great bike...a bit heavy, but a great and very reliable machine....other than the weight, no complaints...

baldbeemer 0 Posted September 14, 2010 VERY NICE BIKE! LOVE THE BLACK WHEELS, TOO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kellymac530 0 Posted September 14, 2010 +1 on the skid plate, i loved my poly one, easy on/off and quieter than alum and never had an issue with it not being strong enough, +1 on the hand gaurds JDjet kit for sure, desmog for sure, re-gear for sure, radiator catch can/bottle would be good but not mandatory. it does look like it has a tri-metal sprocket on it so it may be regeared already....13/48 worked great for me...

ktm-licious 0 Posted September 14, 2010 Congrats!! It will take a few miles to get use to the difference in power and height, but one of the best and nicest bikes out there. I have had my 08 for a few years now any questions don't hesitate to ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
