KTM 640 Adventure
I think this could be the motorcycle that gets me back into street riding. I want to go out onto the logging roads with the local KLR geeks and get myself lost. I want to ride it to BC and tour up the west coast.
I realize it's almost twice as much money as a KLR but I don't care... I WANT one!

Re: KTM 640 Adventure
I'm still not sure... the ktm never gained any ground until right before the turn where he was passed... then BOOM... I think the R6 made a little mistake or he was about to pit out? -jh

Re: KTM 640 Adventure
The KTM was just a better rider, you notice how he kept catching up in the corners, then the sportbike pulls away with pure power. He caught him in that downhill because the lesser experienced rider probaly had no idea how fast you can go in that section. Reguardless, cool vid. Reminds you its the rider, not the bike!

But the R6's lines weren't the greatest(not that I am an expert)... and the ktm was a few feet off the R6's lines. It looked like the KTM was the one compensating with the bike's power. ![]() Truth is, I dont care... I'm just jonesing to ride at Laguna! -jh disclaimer: i really dont know shit
