It looks like it goes just fine but I wouldn't want to depend on it stopping quite as well. I remember those days.

It probably stops just fine, as long as you are particular just where..

Hey Jon, we were wondering today how things are going in the storm zone? You ok?

Great thread. I think there is something about a penchance for music and motorcycles. Not sure how it connects, but it seems to be there. I think I got into both early on, not sure if one was before the other. Anyhow, I didn't have either, just dreamed about riding a motorbike or playing guitar in a band. Still not sure which came first - motorcycles took the forefront over time as I raced motocross then got heavily involved in road racing at the club level. Long story short, racing is a good way to turn a large forune into a small fortune - and you can acquire a lot of scars and aches along the way. I still have bikes, my wife and I enjoy road trips on our Beemers. But nowadays I enjoy the guitars and amps more - they're an everyday thing. Sorry for being long winded but this thread resonated with me.

My Mom says I'm not smart enough to drive a motorcycle
Of course calling myselfa musician would be quit a stretch.But since every nutlick with a hammer and saw calls themself carpenter.I can get away with it.

Sweet bike!

I'd have that thing all scratched up.

Aprilia's are absolutely tits. I've only ridden a few RSV's but they were incredibly fun. Looks great!

I grew up ridding bikes, honda 90 at 10 years old was the first, best friend had a 67 bonneville 650 and his dad had a 48 Vincent Black Shadow 1000.
Wrong side shift was an early lesson for me.
Now I own a restored custom 1974 sportster (wrong side shift)and a 2006 Deuce.
Have a kit bike not yet built also.

Pretty cool!

When I was in my 20's (30-35 years ago) KTM's were very popular.

A friend had a 400 that won a lot of races.
Then he switched to SRW (I think that was the initials) 250 from Spain I believe. It could keep up with the KTM.

Cool! Thanks much! KTM always was a moto-cross brand for me. I must have missed their transition to the road bikes. This looks like they took a few pages off Ducati's playbook and made it better. Best power to weight ratio for a production bike.
