Popular Post NinjaDoc Posted June 9, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Did a quick trip to the smokies last week. Just wanted to do it when weather was nice and pretty much same time as our traditional June trip. Was riding solo everywhere and hence could stop for pics 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Slated to be there in two weeks. Torn, because the GS is so good, but it would be delicious to take the Hyper across 129. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpoppa Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 what's your opinion of the KTM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted June 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Extremely capable machine, balanced power weight handling. It’s hard to describe, jack of all trades. Good in tight stuff and fast stuff. But Not as flickable as super moto in very very tight stuff or not as fast as super sport in longest high rpm sweepers. kind of real good in both worlds but not the best. Can hussle twisty roads or take it to race track. First bike I bought new since on paper everything was perfect for what I wanted. Advanced electronics in a light weight package was my main search. Will be keeping this for a long time since I love it that much (plus depreciation will be killer) all other bikes I bought and sold used with minimal financial hit. It’s a KTM already established a relationship with local dealer by getting more than needed expensive first service done here also tire changes parts etc. More than likely will be needing there help sooner or later 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Good for you. Did you ride the whole way, or trailer? What was your route if you rode? Favorite section of road? Deets, man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted June 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Trailered it to gap for first time in life hehe and I would like to apologize to @MidgetTodd for making fun of him trailering and riding the gap all these years. This was a perfect family vacation with little bit of motorcycling added. I would wake up early and just few runs here and there the usual stuff, dragon skyway moonshiner etc, 4-5 hrs max and back in cabin and then family stuff by the time they are awake and ready to roll. So no exciting travel and routes for me. This worked well that family is happy to repeat this in future And never suspected I was having a ball, some speed limits were fudged ,laws bend, yellow lines dissected, RPM limits stretched, tires scrubbed edge to edge and heavy ear to ear grin intact. 🤙🏽🤙🏽 which is another plus 👍 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim I think I talked to you about this, left side I have space to work on more to pull back, after every shift i kind of expect the next shift coming up and lazily keep the feet right there. But the right side trust me I already am on the ball of my feet, I am not exaggerating when I say this, I don’t if it’s my weird feet shape. From the ball of my feet to the tip of toe it’s 2.5 inches . Plus shoes are one size up I think. This weird feet helps me run like a gazelle when I play soccer 🤣 but the feet sticks out like a sore thumb when riding . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
