I read about Heffo doing endo's and also carrying them for a bit of a distance as
well with the front wheel drive.
It's funny how the Yamaha goes wherever you point it but the KTM wants to go wide. Shows how far there is still to go. I think the KTM gets more % of drive to the front?
There are lots of riders saying they wouldn't want to lose the feel of rear drive, sliding around trying to get traction. The other thing is, look at wthat bikes are selling - big
bore high performance mounts that get more wheel spin than drive, have the front end waving up in the air more often than not and are also more likely to come 2nd on a tight twisty track when ridden by joe average.
As for the price...........
Drop the price and weight, put it on the GS 1200 or LC8 and that'd be the touring weapon of choice. I bet you it's at next years Paris Dakar.
