Gimme a K!! Gimme a T!! Gimme an M!!
What's That Spell?!?
Kronreif and Trunkenpolz, Mattighofen apparently... The ninjette gets a big brother. Sorry, but there's no angle from which to photograph a 990 Adventure and that makes it less ugly. And finally, if Imperial storm troopers rode motorcycles... |

Yuck. Bike just doesn't look right with the tire hugging front fender, and without big aluminum panniers and trunk.

It rides like a dream. I had about an 80 mile ride home from the dealer and I felt fresh and ready to keep going when I got home. Not bad for a first ride! It sure is nice to have some power on tap, even though I have 500 miles left before I can twist the throttle into the fun zone. |

Yeah there's a couple I see around the city that I have a boner for. I think it's just the bags and crash bars. I really want to hop on one but it's too much bike for my needs in the city. I think I could get down on the 450SMR though.

Thanks RZ, this thing is a dream. The power is unbelievable and it's as comfortable as sitting on the couch.
I have the KTM low profile gel seat on the way. This thing is not 32" inseam friendly. |

You just have to get a good running start and hop on once it's balanced.
