Laguna Seca on a KTM
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nKYryaPurWU
Wouldn't be anywhere near as amusing if it wasn't a 950 Adventure, on stock tyres, on stock 21" front wheel... Hang on until the end, the R6 rider must have been a little shocked

Re: Laguna Seca on a KTM
Love that bike.
Love that track. Tubed tyres and spokes are a bit freaky though. Had them on my 125 stinkwheel but that only done 68mph! 100mph+ front blow-out? |

Re: Laguna Seca on a KTM
Holy Cow , that`s excellent , weird seeing a spoked 21" wheel on a racetrack . If anything that R6 rider was slowing him down in some bends

Re: Laguna Seca on a KTM
it's not just the long sweeping tracks too, apparently at the last KTM trackday, there was a chappy on an adventure that was holding his own amongst the 560s and Aprilias. definitely shows how much the lap time depend on the rider and not the bike, although the torque of almost a lire of V-Twin probably helps
