Now that the R1 is all dirty from the rain this morning maybe I should have gone out on the KTM instead.

I rode a KTM 450 around the Saraha in Morocco, loved them, pulled like a train in the sand dunes.

Found them a bit slow on the main road, had it at full bore on the raod and across dried river beds.

Only weak park apparently is the side stand, you can break it if you get on it with the side stand down, so side stand up before getting on.

Was great, did about 800 miles over 5 days all off road, one day was the Paris-Dakar route.

One guy broke his arm, another ruptured an artery in his leg , I broke a clutch lever lol

Nice looking bike :nod:
Don't like the look of those grey clouds though :eek:
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.
