Very nice. I love KTM's. I think they only play death metal at the assembly plant and all the workers are angry because those are some wicked nasty bikes. Love love love my 520 EXC.
There's no place like home............
ROCK ON!
VERY NICE.... too dangerous for me though, I like keeping my wheels on the ground.
Did all of the "new to me bike" stuff:
Grips
Aluminum Throttle tube
oil and oil filters
Air filters
Up next:
Tires
chain
guards
But first things first I'm headed to ether berthoud or IMI monday!
Any suggestions?
This is my first KTM and after being a Yammawhore for years it was nice finding a bike that felt like it just fit.
badass mang!!

Awesome!
I've ridden a 450 EXC out in Moab a bunch and loved it. Enjoy!
Very nice. Welcome to the dirty side.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Yea I pulled the 450 high on the test ride and I dont think the dude liked it but half way back to the guys house I knew this was the one. Checked out 13 different bikes off of cl and was going to get a 07 cr450 but had to ride this one first.
The KTM just fit my big ass so well and was sooo much cleaner than the others I checked out I had to have it. Last bike I had was a 01 yz426 and the thing felt like a tank and turned like one too, cracks me up I sold my 426 in 08 for $1,500 and they still have them on cl for more money.
