Traded off to the KTM for a bit last night. One thing is for sure . The Ktm engines packs a lot more bottom end than the corked up dale. It falls on its face on top though where the dale keeps pulling. Bottom end is where its at for pulling wheelies in any gear so an engine will be built focusing on that. As which seems to be the case it rained again. It is amazing how the slicks have traction even in wet. I witnessed Tony back it into a corner at an indutrial park. I see how unloading the rear with the front brakes and downshifting lets it slide out. I will have to practice a lot and Im sure I will be saying hello to the pavement before I get used to it. I am starting to get comfortable with the twist grip.
I did get to drag a R6 from a stop light . Either that guy sucked or the tard really does haul because I crushed it up to 45mph. Where I let off and he went sreaming by a second or 2 later.
I got to try out an Ultimate speedometer as well. I was looking at the trail techs but wanted a bigger screen and since trail tech was to cheap to put a backlight on my low end model they will have to lose a sale from me. What do they think nobody rides at night? Thats just a basic function . The other complaint I have is why dont they have sealed connectors on everything? Everything that goes on a motor vehicle needs a sealed connector. No exeptions. And not some cheezy easy to pull apart bullet connector.
