im paws on there aswell
had my gilles and can off there, really good service.
It is VERY loud but it a good way-neither me or treacle have been pulled over because of it-you will need the re-map doing my triumph (cost me £30 at dealers)

fair enough, i'll probably run it in on the stock one and start looking at the jardineafter 500-1000 miles tbh, after months of rumbling around town with an uncorked twin it was kind of nice to go stealth through town for once, you know, not making small children cry and old people frown at you

Mine (on a cold foggy day) has been known to flame throw
Did it when i had my bikesafe day at silverstone with the bike cop behind me-he said it looked and sounded great

bah, yo call that a flame thrower...?

the KTM spits 2ft blue flames on the overrun, and is way louder than any other bike i've heard - subtle isn't an option where the two options for throttle input are "wheelie" and "backing it in"

That sounds like an incredibly interesting bike to ride. What are front brake modes? nothing or stoppie?

the brakes are ok, strong enough to have the back wheel in the air with one finger without even trying but there's at least some finesse, the engine only really works when you're going at it 100%

Heh heh heh.

Still looking for a cheap CR500 to give similar treatment, I can't afford a KTM lol.

i thought you might say something like that

anyway, it's lunchtime, you and your whippet should be having a pie and a pint before getting back to the racing pigeons shouldn't you?
