I wouldn't want one as my only bike but if i lived closer to the real mountain roads I'd be jonesin for one. Sure, for any distance or straight line riding they're at the bottom of the performance list, but for a tight track or a road like Deals Gap they'd be a blast. I just like them for what they're good for.

I love mine!

It handles great, accelerates quickly, stops on a dime, plus it's the ultimate hooligan bike! I can jump curbs and wheelie at will. It's all in what you want, I have the GSXR when I want to go faster, and I have the KTM for when I want to goof-off.

I cant stand them. Feel like im wearing my wives panties for a seat.
They are fun in the curves , out of them , buzzy under powered thongs on a motor.

I look foreward to getting a chance to try out some of the new larger types. You could give me a sm dr whatever and Id sell it for something else.

I do too much distance riding to consider one as an only bike... I'd love one to crash into shit and tear up my commute with... All goes as planned, a motard will be my next bike.

it would be funny to drag race one though, just steadily stay beside them while they tach em out through high gear as you shift into 2nd

I wanted a KTM 525 SMC sooo bad when they came out! They had a deal where they gave you both the on and off road equipment for the same price! Then I rode one and I was severely disappointed...I haven't wanted a "real" motard since. I guess that the liter class motards are alot faster,etc but to me they aren't really motards. The only reason I'd want one now is if I could race it.
