Paris - Dakar Rally; Why are nearly all the Bikes KTMs??
 
Is this trying to tell the off-road adventure motorcyclist something or is it a big co-orporate push over??

Because you can buy a ready to race bike over the counter without having to spend lots of money upgrading it.
It is a tall bike, but so I am; many people say it has a very uncomfortable saddle, but its not that bad; over Xmas I rode mine from London to Madrid in a day and my arse was a bit sore, but no that bad that it stoped me going off-road the day after. A truly versatile machine. Will it last long? I hope so!!!!!!
