Been away from this forum for a while, did we loose the ability to send private messages? any way Hey Mike! My Dr sz I will not be using my left leg again, so I won’t be riding any more. But i still have that beast (KTM) ready to go. Just don’t have the heart to list it for sale yet. I would...

Would you believe I had my whole bike hydro dipped and it came out orange and black? Seems a lot lighter now too. (G)

I really wanted to get a gen 2, but everyone wanted stupid high prices. The KTM ended up just about $5,000 less then I could get a used Gen 2... and it is lighter which is important to old guys like me

Well I know a guy that might be willing to let you test ride a Super Duke this spring... of course you will have to start out with traction control ON I think you should experience the bike on two wheels for a while before you ride it on one

Oh wait... did you mean MY bike? what gave it away? The Superman shirt? many years ago I had a Penton 400 which was a KTM 2 strok “ enduro” yes it’s a Super Duke. Just a decat pipe and ECU tuner for now, but I have a new airbox and filter (Rottweiler) to install this spring. When I can walk...

V twin 650 cc Something like 65 hp But I did buy a full system pipe/can for it And for Christmas a air cleaner and ecu tuner Walt loves it! So much better then his Yamaha which is a FZ600 And will be for sale cheap in the Spring

btw this is his old bike... has a SV650 now

My baby bike

Well ofcourse I’m in your rear view... I don’t know where the Hell we are going. besides, you have two more cylinders... pull two plugs and we will be even... right? but wait until after I try to talk you into letting me give a gen 2 a test ride. I know you would love to try something a...

Love that look! btw, come spring, I would love to ride with you some time... even if I don’t have a Vmax anymore

Anyone doing any rides over the long Labor Day weekend?

I used to ride a bit with Vmax mike. I have a feeling he may ride a little with a fat old man on a KTM in the near future. We will have to wait and ask him (G)

Im just wondering if any of you ride with someone that has a KTM 1290. On paper, it looks like a hell of a bike. But we all know what the data sheet sz is not always what showed up on the road. Thanks Craig

I’m old so I have to say, I wish more exhaust cans looked like the old reverse cone megaphones then like someone stuck an oil can on the end of your pipe!

WELL there you go... if you want more sound you could just tape a card to the swing arm so the card get hit by the spokes!

That make feel very old. I’m in the tiny 70+ age group. I bought my first Vmax in 1985 (new) and have had three since. And, oh yeah, even a gen 2 is getting some upgrades

Do you think that the few number of complains may be because few people remove their end caps? Being old, a monotool with a supply of cut off disks is part of my must have tool kit. As is a Hamer driver. Years ago getting out Phillips head case screws was a nightmare and I cut slots to get...

This has been here for while, so is it still for sale? Can you dome a favor and do driving directions lookup to see how far it would be from Port Huron, MI 48060.

Hay Sean! OK, I went to your web site and maybe it’s just not iPad friendly, but I can’t find anything to do with gen 2s. I also found your post from ‘16 where you were starting on a gen 2 project bike. But it seems like that just stopped long before you did any mods/results. So I’m back to...

Thanks for the response!
