Hello I know I've posted already today, but I've just got back from a wet/greasy/windy ride, and.. I dunno...but every time i ride this thing, I feel I've got to tell someone about it, its frickin FANTASTIC. I normally use it in Sport Mode but have the throttle set to High, DTC 2, ABS 3 (everything is OFF in Race mode, but thats for warmer days than today!) There is a SuperCorsa on the front thats covered 5000 miles and is well past the wear bars (new BT30 in the post) and the BT30 on the rear. Theres no way this thing should stop..corner... and accelerate like it does in the wet and cold, you can properly take the piss and it just seems to get on with the business of getting you round and out of the bend. that BT30 on the rear is great, spins up when you grab a handful off the apex but the TC steps just before i run out of talent, but not before its made you feel like a bloody hero. Even the knackered SC on the front still seems to be delivering the goods, tracks a true line in the wet only getting a little vague splashing through mid-corner puddles. If you've got one of these machines (or just thinking about it) get out there get some heat in the tyres and pretend like its a summers day.... What a blast. Dave
Couldn't agree more, just got back from a 130mile coastal jaunt, from 2/3 gear power wheelies to flicking it through the twisty stuff it's great and a real head turner, though I'm starting to become a bit reliant on the DTC at times
Getting old...I went my old mans house last week on the hyper and it was bloody freezing on the way home...not been out on it since.....plus, and its a big one, I finally got my supermoto engine back from a mammoth 5 month wait.....stripped, coated and rebuilt so I've been in the garage all afternoon..finally after 5 months of cleaning, blasting, anodising, sourcing spares, ordering stuff the therapy starts.....yey
Yep....check the motor out....my mate is a ex works KTM mechanic and while he was building the engine anyone who came in asked why he was needing to work on a brand new engine....this one is ten years old... That was it last night when I got it home....only took a few hours to make it look like a bike again!
