This is why.

You say that you don't enjoy V-Twins...

His business was in southwest Kansas. Though he would regularly go to South Dakota to help spray when business was slow at the beginning of the summer.

You are a very dedicated an patient man.

My grandfather was a crop duster. I worked for him for almost 10 years mixing, loading, and doing tons of miscellaneous stuff on the AT-502 and AT-301. The work really tests pilots endurance and mental strength. During certain times of the summer we will have the aircraft running from sunrise to sunset for a couple…

The Wichita/Amarillo flying doritos are coming!

The 1st Gen S10 with the 4.3 is easy to drift. All is takes is throttle, throttle, opposite lock, and more throttle. Here is a picture of my S10.

I am very excited about this news! I would love to have a naked KTM but I don't need the 1290R's 180 horsepower (and I don't want to drop the $17K), but I want more than 690's 70 hp. Another option is a used 990 Super Duke R, but those are a bit difficult to find in the USA. If I want something new my favorite option…

Why is the Global Rallycross points system so fucked up?

That aircraft was designed and tested in Wichita, Ks. As far as I know both prototypes where built there too. Cessna isn't owned by a Chinese company. it's owned by Textron.

More than likely all you will have to do is pull a fuse. That is all that it takes in the current 690 Duke.

Thanks! It has a 2002 GSX-R 1000 front end. The dual 6-piston calipers are amazing! Eventually it will get front spoked wheels, but that is a time and money issue.

My project motorcycle is what really got me into riding. It is far from finished, and probably will always be that way. It is a blast to take a cheap-rusty-pile of shit and and make it into something fun to ride. It is awesome to see, and feel the hard work that I put into it. Next bike for me will either be a KTM 990…

I was expecting the obligatory "YEAAAAAAAH! ROUNDHOUSE KICK A FORD RIGHT IN THE FUGGIN' MOUTH!"

These guys are trying way too hard to be Pagani. A lot of the metal finishing is subpar. Maybe it is just oily from finger prints, but it looks as though it needs some more polishing. I also feel as though they choose a poor color scheme. Maybe if they painted the red suspension linkage a different color, or choose a…

I try to drive my S4 everyday...

I understand where you are coming from. KTM's dealer network has been expanding. On their road-going motorcycles the valve-train has a pretty reasonable inspection period. Without a doubt the 390's will cost more than it's Japanese rivals, but I feel like they would have more bang for your buck. Though I feel like…

I realized I posted an image of a RC125 instead of the 390, but they look similar.

I am excited for the KTM 390 Duke & KTM RC 390 to come to North America. If I was in the market for an entry level bike, I would strongly consider one these.
