    Dinosaurs .................. PAH!!

    I love it 😍 That sound is why I have thought for so long that I should do the financially sensible thing and sell my 950, but find myself unable to 😈 And I find it incredible how they manage to ride like that without the high fender mod - got the idea that the std low fender hampered the bike...

    Noneking’s 990 thread

    KTM deurskynende tenks word bruin?

    Die wit Touratech tenks op my XChallenge het ook oor tyd van wit na cream gegaan, en nou begin dit na lig bruin neig. Voel of die proses die laaste jaar baie vinniger gebeur het

    Mid-life crises..... Selling GS1200 and getting a KTM 640 adv

    The closest bike to the 640, that can actually do everything pretty well is probably the BMW XChallenge.
