she's hopefully going to be road registered as a fair weather, daylight MOT toy, and used on supermoto trackdays when i can

that akra race system is loud, louder than the yosh on the drz, which in turn was louder than the stubby can on the SV

My word! Got to be the most fun on two wheels . I can only imagine as my 400 pogo is a hoot on the road even in trailie form. Advantage of motard is you dont have to clean them all the bloody time.

yeah, my DRZ in the background is a hilarious bike, you should get yours a set of road wheels/tyres/brakes, so much fun, the KTM is for sunny days and tracks only, or to put it another way:

SV: 72bhp, ~190kg wet
DRZ: 35bhp, ~150kg wet
560SMR: ~50-60bhp, 109kg wet
