Congratulations! Just one question, do you go beyond 130km/h on Indian roads? I used to, and I've been lucky enough to survive and not lucky enough to see one of my friends survive. I was one of those road-rash morons. we used to do those racing on highways. If you are of that type who knows what he's doing with his bike go for it, well done. :thumbsup: But If you got aspirations to go 100 km/h on Indian roads but don't have the expertise to handle it(Your experience would say it). I would request you to return this bike. KTM is of solid build , and got quality components, some of them made with Bosch. But how you handle it matters so much. There was a recent message on Facebook saying too many riders in India not know how to handle these bikes ends up crashing. No stunts with this on highways!
Starting to think people post kid pics in their profiles because that was the last time they were cute - Jeremy.

There is a track close to where I live. The motorcycle dealer often organizes track day which will be fun. There are some highways where you can 150 (and more) KM/hr sprint/burst. I would not recommend that though. KTM kind of has a bad reputation due to number of accidents involving a KTM motorcycles (no proof). But if you look at age group of people involved, you would find that these are generally younger people who probably bought this as their first motorcycle. I have seen many on streets trying to experience race track. It is evident that they do not understand the machine, they are overconfident (stupid) about their riding skills and have no regards to their and anyone else's safety.

Agreed. The sad thing is, these guys end up getting a bad reputation for KTM. Other local makers must be enjoying these gossips.
