Does your KTM's stablemate suck?

That's would be cool, plus it's good for the economy... starts a whole new obsession and more expensive googling...

I'm not sure .....but I think I see a spot under the KLR....No, my mistake....must have been a fly just passing through! Nice Shop!!!

For the nasty stuff 1 cylinder is all you need.

My Husaberg FE570



I was supposed to sell my Super Enduro when I bought my Husaberg.
But I really could not separate from this wonderfull bike. It is just too much fun.



But driving the two bikes above is always a big risk. A risk for getting dirty as I cannot keep myself away from mud and dirt roads. So I needed something which is no fun at all driving offroad.
Heavy as hell, bad suspension, no breaking power but the sound of 6 cylinders makes me smile all the times.

Trying to not suck

i think I've got the best of everything covered with my stablemates

The The two Benelli / Montgomery Wards 'Giro bikes and the Norton are getting along quite well with the KTM thank you , and no I don't think they suck .

LOVE THIS THREAD!!! Yes the Maico 490 Mega 2 is a peach. I had a 450 M1 and my buddy had a 490. They are truly beastly motors putting out as much HP as bikes today. My 450 had the crank balanced and it was actually a bit better so we put in the 490 frame.

The key with these B*&## ards was understanding the starting drill and having to stand on the left side sucked monkey balls. The kickstarter pawls would round off and if the bike backfired, it would kill the coil (at least on mine). However they hold a dear place in my heart.

Wouldnt mind owning one now. Course I wouldnt mind one of everything!!!!

Does it suck, that is...

2011 690 Enduro R followed me home.




Got a fantastic deal - 1750 km, still under warranty - couple of scratches from one BC trail ride. Only damage - bent rear brake lever. I'll get a nice billet replacement.
So far, so good. First back roads ride this Sunday.

Most definitely not!!

Not perfected the pic loading just yet !!

What better to keep a KTM company than another KTM...you decide which one is the stable mate though technically the EXC came first. The only sucking here is in fuel and air!

...and i second the immediately above thought wow...so clean!

I know, but it really sucks offroad.

I have always liked the looks of my 08 530 best until I saw this baby!!!! Its HOT!!!!!

She may only be a humble Honda Storm, but she certainly does not suck. Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome my son George to the ADV Rider fold. He is 18 this week and now eligible for his Chilean driving licence

I cant wait to get out on the road with him. Looks like the 990 will be taking a well earned rest for a wee while.

Hopefully we can graduate him onto something a bit bigger in time for the Ushuaia trip next January.

Happy days

Some of you know me and I have ridden with for years. For those that don't.....My name is Dave Heimer, and Im in Boise. Prior to that I was in N. Ca. I have been a sport bike guy for 20 years. Not long after moving to Boise, I decided to try more dual sport and found that I enjoyed it as much if not more than my sport bikes. I started slowly selling off the sport bikes that I found I was no longer riding.......It was quite the little collection. Last year I put up my two last sport bikes, An Aprilia Futura, and a Aprilia Colin Edwards replica to help pay for my newest acquisition a KTM 990 ADV. Sold the Futura and decided to keep the Edwards.
Now due to recent life changes, I was forced to sell the Edwards as well.
Here is a pic taken an hr. before the new owner picked her up. Had to take her out for one last ride around Boise.





She will be missed.

My new to me 2006 950 Adv won't be home for a few more weeks. I know moving and changing families can be stressful...... This is the support system that awaits her..... Varying levels of suckage.....

My stablemates are brothers:

she sleeps with a old FZ1 that has been very good to us


a old XR650R and XR600


and just so you know who she is

No. It's a necessary evil. {May 3, 2013}
