One of my buddies got a used KTM 690 Super Motard. Looks like fun.
Who rides motorcycles?

My other buddy has 3 primary bikes. He has a 2nd gen Vmax, a custom turbocharged FJR1300 with 194 rear wheel hp, and a 2009 Ducati hypermotard 1100S. He says if he had to only keep one, he'd keep the hooligan hypermotard. I've seen him ride a wheelie for almost 10 miles from our town to the next small community, where we slowed down to turn. Nowadays, that's a huge fine.
Anyone watching the Supercross "playoffs"? Final round is next weekend in LA. Will determine season winner. I watch on Peacock TV.
Flat track wrapped up with Jared Mees winning the twins division. He's fast, and very seasoned.

Are they dealing at all on the new T7's last I checked the only way to get one for MSRP was to drive across the country. Congrats on one heck of an Adventure bike.
Please Post up pics of when you take delivery.
ps. For now going to ride the z 900RS on the street and once/ "If" I get the 465 jetting dialed will get a state sticker and may even ride it to town once in a while.
I forgot how Stubborn the 465/490 YZ's could be to get jetted "right".
Already experimented and ordered new needle /seat multiple main, pilot jets, new leaner throttle slide multiple jet needles New float and needle seat are installed along with a reduced main jet. It is running better on the bottom and very top... but the midrange is still really rich so the reason for leaner jet needles I even ordered a 'knock off" 38 flat slide PWK Keihn to try if all else fails. Starting to appreciate the fuel Injection of the newer bikes about now.

I didn't get a deal if that what you are asking .... But I fond one at the closes dealer to my place (3h) and it wasn't much more expensive then in the big center 10h away ... I did looked used and at wasn't worth it a few thousands off MSRP with 14000km (8700 miles) on them... many didn't have much accessories on them ether so... I was pretty tight on cash so I only got the engine guard on for now, I will add the skid plate and a exhaust later on.

yeah well you have influence my decision, I wanted a Africa twin then you talked about this one, I knew of it and knew it was cheaper then the Africa twin then I looked the reviews of both and it sound like this a better off-roading bike, lighter and better geared ... their is flaws about this bike like soft suspension and high center of gravity but they all have flaws and I can deal with this bike flaws.
