If is the KTM I think it is you won't be disappointed. They are ever so easy to ride the trails on. Just like a big 250. Me personally would fit a Rekluse clutch. No more stalling but is does take the engine braking away. And you are in the right part of the world to enjoy it. R1100S is now of such...

Still looking for the right bike :wink: but I'm in the middle of a large building project so may give up unless I trip over a nice and more local private sale. :lol: So I sold the viffer and defected to motoguzzi sport http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t557/magwa56/20170404_142720_zpsjnaq9h02.jpg ...
