new bike time

[CliffB]

I just don't like how everyone says the KTM's are racebikes that can be ridden on the street. Everyone i've seen people say they require oil changes every 4-8 hours and a filter change every other oil change. That's a bit much for my tastes.

Plus if i had that bike i would add way more weight to it than just 130lbs. Gotta have my luggage lol

I have a road bike. I want this bike to explore off road, take a gun in a backpack and go. If i want to travel ill take my rd bike. Between my family and work im glad to get to still ride. Mix thatwith more thn 1 bike oil change intervals become less if a concern. Maintenance ws one reason i was consider the 690 though

Well hurry and buy one and let's go. I'm taking mine to the Blue Ridge/Dawsonville area Wednesday. Planning to hit Cashes Valley.

another option is the Husky FE500s. Check wtih Bobby at Atlanta BMW/ducati/Husqvarna. He had at least one or two when I was at the grand opening of the new location this past weekend. At least one had a "sold" tag on it. bobby is good to work with.

I have a tagged 450 XC but enjoy riding my 950 super enduro off road mostly. easier to get the trails and still fun even on single track.

The Husky is the same basic bike as the 500EXC with a few small changes. some think it's actually a better bike. If they imported a 450 EXC or FE450 I'd have a new bike...
