    What keeps your KTM company in the garage? Here's everyone's chance to weigh in - does my other bike suck - or not? Go ahead, tell me the truth...I can take it. :cry

    Oh yeah, what's everyone else got? Can you take the torque if your other bike sucks? Let's see it...

    FWIW: You can't say if your bike sucks or not, only someone else can say if it does. However, yours does not suck.

    My KTM stablemate is a bit low-budget, but it's my first bike (yeah, I'm young, 29) an '03 GSX-R600. She sits next to my '04 SMC, in the garage, and in the pits at trackdays.
