Looks good, and lots of storage space.

Nice look. I'll probably want something other than the orange on my "new" KTM...
I've got a couple of spray cans that will work <Grin>

When I was in China, I met a group of riders doing the circle around China. They all either had a KTM or BMW. There was 20 of them and they were from Germany, France and England. Sounds like quite the challenge but no surprise for seeing what Europeans do. They do the same thing where groups ride those same bikes from the tip of South America to Alaska. Last year I met a couple in New Mexico that had been doing that trip. They were both retired school teachers from Sweden. Both 70 and had been 3 months into a 4 month ride.

Cool. I keep hearing how Harleys are for part time riders but the KTMs and BMWs are for people who actually ride and aren't in it for the show. Mine has been at the frigging shop for like 6 weeks now... "Waiting on parts". Grr...

I was wondering the same thing, that why I asked what I did.

Nothing. It would die at stops unless I feathered the throttle. Also, it needed front brake work and I am having the stock springs put back in the forks and on the rear. The ones in the bike were for a guy who was 350# + ... I'm not that big and the bike rode a little rough because of the harder springs.
In an update, the shop finally got the dust wipes for the front forks. I called yesterday. Apparently, they didn't order carb parts. So, another 4-5 days to get those parts... Maybe next weekend. Thankfully, I haven't sold the Honda VTX1800 yet though it IS for sale...
