Hi Guys / Gals,
I'm looking for a second bike that can be used for more technical / endure style riding as my 850GS is a bit heavy for the real tech stuff whilst legally riding to the venue. Don't have space for a trailer on my property.
I've not ridden it yet, but all the comments I've seen to date is that the KTM 500 can be a handful - both power as well as weight. It sounds like the ultimate machine for more open adventures.
I had a 300 EXC for a while, but to get to the dirt, plus the 2-stroke power-band did not work for me.
Any recommendations will be highly appreciated.
