What I actually said was that it was "fun" George not that it was a fire breathing KTM,  :grin: (note the KTM rear arm on the KDX if you haven't already done so)   :wink:
:mfr_lol: I know. Before my KTM I rode a Suzi RM125 and had an RD50E for road use.
I just remember the first time I gave the KTM the beans on the road.
I spent the next 200yds, and what felt like a year or two, trying to get the front wheel back on the road.  :shocked:
After that I treated it with plenty respect!!
I rode a KX500 and a CR500 at an off road centre. Both were awesome but just too powerful.
With the ΒΌ turn side pull throttle and all that power you never really got the rear end hooked up.
That said, one of these days I'll get one and SuperMoto it.
Those 2 stroke power bands are a real adrenaline kick, especially on the singles.
