Anything but a dual sport - those things are just plain ugly! They don't need to be ugly, but I agree. I particularly do not care much for the pinched robot eye headlights. Most of the body is a mess of gratuitous angles and fake inlets are a turn off. |

The photo is the first ride after a rebuild, kind of a shake down before a long road haul . Hence no leather. I went for a slide on her prior and spent a couple weeks on a rebuild. I was gimping around on one leg for a while (I could gross people out with peeling off a scaboozo and asking if you want some jerky). The slide occurred on a hairpin, dink with no break lights decided to come to a full stop after the turn. Thank christ for the shaft drive, My leg was pinned under it sliding into on coming traffic forward of the bike. Mini helmet shot off and got crushed under the on coming. The flatfeeties showed up and made me do circles and donuts before they'd let me haul ass to a local Honda place to go through the crash books for parts before they closed. Must of been a hell of a sight with me kind of cut up, bleeding, the bike bent up and covered in blood, leaking gas and barreling down suburbia. Decent guy that owned it stayed with me so we could place the parts order. JEDTA: I ended up in front of the bike because when I went to say screw it, it's gone on the slide, I was laying it down and let go of the grips then both wheels caught and flipped the bike over catching me with it and trapping me under it. Talk about a body slam. Empty of everything, that thing is over 600 lbs. Slid about 100 ft in a tee shirt with that thing on top. Only reason I wasn't shredded is that the left bar (actually the riser, bent back almost 20 degrees off) and left foot peg (glad that didn't fold) along with the tank took most of it. |

I have a completely different take on what's sexy, I suppose, but I get a tingle in the pants when I see a KTM 690 in rally trim, not some showboat cruiser, or a trellis-framed Italian bike. They do nothing for me. I know it's goofy looking, but like an AR15 it's completely a weapon of function, aesthetics just don't apply and that makes it wicked to me.  |
