    Very silly new "race" bike

    Well, I've gone and done it! Just bought my KTM LC4, 620. The joys of kick start only, 50+ HP, 140kg, WP front and rear suspension, the list could go on!
    Biggest smiles ever though, will slip the rear in 3rd in a straight line tonight, and lift the front in 2nd just by cracking the gas! I'm either going to die or have a ball, I'm not sure which yet!

    Its a bit viby, but the sound/feel is to die for!

    Groovy!
    What year is it?
    I've admired these for a while. Are they home-mechanic friendly?

    Scared now!!

    Anyway, answers - definately not replaceing the TA, I wouldn't want to go far on it! Its a '94, on an L plate, probably OK for servicing etc at home, I'm not sure on anything internal to engine, well not by me!!

    It probably will end in tears, its just so quick, when it all goes wrong it goes wrong fast to! So that was me flying over the handle bars and into the mud, classic face plant. Mate behind me came round the corner to see my landing but not my take off! Bloody stiff neck now, pain killers and brandy coming up!

    This could be a real rally contender, if I can sort my trailer!
