As a KTM guy, WOW. Super cool, clean and unique; I always thought that if I lived closer to the dunes, I'd have a dedicated sand bike like a KTM 440 or 550 with a paddle on at all times. But WTF does "30% more power by far" mean? Does it actually make 30% more power than some theoretical CR500, or is it a guess? I know, my expectations of language use are unrealistic.
Thanks for sharing this, Jim, and let us know when you get it home  :wave:

i wish i had an aircraft hanger to store my stuff.
i once owned a cr500 and it was fast so 30% more is unreal.

Thanks for posting this as I didn't know they made this one! What a beast and would be a nice one to SM. I always loved the KTM380 but it was a short lived model.

I've purchased two projects out of hangers. Both seriously neglected (the bikes, not the hangers). Stuff multiplies to occupy the space available.

I like the 1990's graphics, retro.
