KTM LC questions

[tsanterre]

I picked this up towards the end of the season last year (replaced my '07 1000RR).... no regrets yet.

Comes stock with:

Marchesini wheels
Brembo brakes
WP suspension (front and rear)
Slipper clutch
3 fuel map settings

I still have the '03 600RR for the track... but the Duke has been a-lot of fun on the street. I do miss some of the power, but the thing handles like it's on rails.

i would love to take that for a rip sometime. like i said, i think the new duke is a bit of a step away from its roots as a street tard, it seems more standard bike orientated. probably due to the extra bodywork, and the low stance.

I just purchased a 2001 KTM 640 enduro this past week. It was pretty short money, $1800 with new Happy Trail panniers.

I haven't even ridden it up and down the street yet, but pretty excited about a new lightweight in the family.

I was looking at that bike on cl, too. I was thinking it would cost a lot more to convert it to street tard.

Got to get rid of the side boxes, though.

Got to get rid of the side boxes, though.

I have a 12 mile commute to work, most of which I can do on dirt roads. The panniers are practical for that. I also might do some lightweight camping on it. If anything I would get knobbier tires that the Enduro 3s on there now.

The bike comes without a kickstand though, and lifting it onto the centerstand is a bitch. The long travel suspension sucks up all you energy trying to heave it onto the stand. That's got to change somehow.

Thanks. It's a 2008.

Actually sold my '07 1000RR for a few hundo more than what I paid for the Duke.

Def is fun to ride!
