KTM 625 LC motard . . .
. . . one of the best experiences I've ever had w/ two wheels and a motor.
apparently it's a step below the duke. 625cc single, 17" rims, sticky pirelli's, and 38th sprocket on it bone stock.
my boy from Kenosha just picked one up, and gave me the go ahead. WHOOLy SMOKES. 2nd pass was a 2nd gear seat stander for a 1/2 mile down ole' Hwy W in Wi. a few passes later I started a sit down at about 2mph clicked through 4th and set it down for the speedo to read 78mph. Stoppies like a champ w/ a brembo grabber up front and said pirelli's. scuffed the mud flap rolling coasters down hill, no biggie, owner actually liked it. all in all this bike had me feeling giddy. straight up, i was warm inside. it had it's own aura, it was orange.
throughout the rest of the day I'd take off on 10 min sessions up and down Hwy W. at one point I seen a harley guy coming from about a 1/2 mile behind me. picked up a 1st gear seat stander for the next 1/2 mile to come up a hill and to a stop sign. I heard him behind me for the last couple hundred yards, i get to the stop sign and bust a u turn and he mumbles "F'n moron". "You loved it" I stated as blowing his wife a kiss, she was smiling, he flicked me off.
my advice to anyone that wants to have the most fun of their life. BUY one of those things. there street legal and love to wheelie. kinda feels like a big

Think I'd rather have a crf450 with the motard wheels though.

FUGGING SWEET!! Theres a motard honda CRF450 I think, @ the local race shop here. The owners race everything from the little 80cc sportbikes all the way up to a G1K, but say the Motard is the most fun!!
I come from motocross (Harescrambles actually) so one of those is RIGHT down my alley!! Oh yeah, those guys from Paris is Judgement Day II look like they're having a BLAST on those things!! I'm jelious!
