Looking around for 11 grand worth of crap that I can sell to justify this:
This looks like it could be fun. Real fun.
Especially if you had a buddy that had one, too. But, sheesh...11 grand.

My neighbor has this (and about a dozen other dirtbikes). He says it is a blast, Im sure the ktm is in a different league but he says it is pretty great for 4k.

A work friend has one, races dirt bikes too and highly rates the KTM, so do local thieves as he's had 2 stolen

I'm looking forward to when all the Harley riders get e-motorcycles.

While I like it/love it, with my dirt bike background and old guy hips, I would be in traction in 10, maybe 15 minutes.
Anyone know of an electric putt-putt two wheeler with a good rep? The KTM would be great but I know me.

Would be great for evening rips around the farm. No more fussing with gas or mixing oil or a gummed up carb in the spring! Can’t wait to see these become more common and the price drop on them.

I may be too big (220lbs now) but I need to go take a look.

Electric is certainly appealing with it's even power, never bogging down, etc.

The good thing about this puppy is if you get caught riding where you shouldn't really be... You can claim it's a battery powered mountain bike "It's a bicycle Sir, a bicycle with a small battery." |

I have owned Honda's and KTM's, just cannot imagine not hearing the sound of a two stroke 150 or a four stroke 250 from a KTM. Just not natural. Yeah, I am getting old.

You want expensive? try the world of Side x Sides. Worth every dime.

^^ Fun, but are they fragile? Seen a lot of side x side front end damage on the you-tubes when they take a jump wrong. As if they're built to perform a very specific (fun!) task but they don't tolerate extracurricular hooniganism.
(I just made up a new word!)
