Pics nicked from KTM Forum...


I imagine lots of people here won't get this bike, but it's a bit of Dakar porn if you know what it is:smt103 - Hopefully the owner will actually use it for it's intended purpose and not just ride it to the cafe every sunday:cool:

Anyway, by special order, this is what your £22k gets you:

That looks like it holds a heckload of fuel , Is that one of those scrolling rally point thingies on the dash ?

Haha


I found out today that once they're warm the TKCs grip plenty for some road fun, and will hoist the front wheel just as easily as the Scorps - On the downside I think I may need another rear by the time I go to Bavaria in Jan...

If you pm me some details, I'll see if I can make thetford.
That is as long as you dont mind a working bike instead of a pretty one like yours tagging along!
