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.

KTM 690 SMC R

Ducati Diavel

Triumph Tiger 800

GXSR1000

Nice!

Congrats on the new KTM!

Sounds like Neil enjoyed the Tiger 800XC a lot.

When's the next ride?

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.

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.

Thanks for the post travelmate.

You're baiting him Karlos.

Why would you do that? I'm sure you don't want to waste another great thread. Let it go mate, I reckon.
