Double hard *******! I actually thought the Elefant Rally involved some kind of orienteering exercise in sub zero's rather than a **** up in a very cold place!

Those machines look awesome, I'm even quite fond of the GS800 in all its regalia but I still think KTM have that extra bit of cool about them. I was quite keen on buying a 950SM last year and very tempted to buy one from a mate, but sticking with the Kwak for the minute. I was hoping that KTM would produce something a little less beastly but in a V-Twin config but that wouldnt be KTM would it!?

Excellent write up too, some great memories to cherish I'm sure.

AFAIK no plans for a smaller twin, although the 690 engine seems the logical choice to put in the ADV body next... KTM owners are kind of hoping they bung the new 1190cc engine from the RC8R into the next Adventure

Definitely some amazing memories, won't be forgotten in a hurry

TLW, looks amazing would love to do something like this, not sure if the SV would make it?

How was the KTM in the snow?

just discovered that adv seems like a pretty interesting site

(obviously not better than this)
