Travelmate Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Nice little day trip thru Khao Yai. Weather was superb as were the bikes. What unique about this trip, we had a thumper, a twin, a triple and good ole inline four.

Travelmate Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Nice! Congrats on the new KTM! Sounds like Neil enjoyed the Tiger 800XC a lot. When's the next ride? T I don't think it was the XC version. Neil can correct us on that. Yes he enjoyed the bike a lot. It ain't no slouch either. In Neil's hands it defo handled very well thru the corners. Next ride, dunno when. But I have to ride again as I need to break in the engine. Another 400 clicks and it's done. KTM is an absolute blast to ride.

Travelmate Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 KTM looks sweeeeet!! how is the " R" different to the normal SMC?? Well it's a true 690cc for starters. A little more horsepower,some trick parts as standard. Plus they lengthen the service intervals to 10,000km!! Not sure I will follow that though, will do it at shorter intervals.
