They are more Beta-KTM in ergos/feel but the motor still sounds & rides like a Gas Gas.
Pretty content with the power delivery of mine; can't say I need more. Have had the KYB's on the front end for some time now. That anchor of a swingarm sure shows it's weight when it's time to lift her around though.

I really do know what I'm missing though. They have stepped up and built the bike I'd have built myself given the chance Been asking for a well suspended euro registerable 2T that is available at a reasonable/fair price point for some time.. and look what the cat dragged in!

100km now & this is one heck of a dirt bike.

13/50 gearing, NEDW #2 (hot here atm), 42p/175m, a/s 1.5, Motul 710/98RON @ 2% - still rich right off idle, but I'll go 40p & reassess.

The bike has as much torque low down as many 300's I've ridden. Cracking motor.

KYB's are superb - haven't touched them. I'm 92kg on the bike.

E-start all good so far, build quality all around fantastic. Loose spokes are the only thing I've tweaked. Note - new chain needed if going bigger than 13/49.

This bike has oodles of power, handles beautifully &, to my eye, is engineered and finished to as high a standard as any other brand.

Just quietly, I reckon this bike will be remembered as a bit of a classic..

I think you should arrange transport to FNQ in 12 months time when you're ready to upgrade
