Got three in at the mo.Pride of place is my flat barred 02 carb'd R1.There's my grafter Thundercat which I've just sold. (to be replaced with a gen1 thou)And my old Fazer 600 which is now my son's bike.
I meant to ask..... Why have you got the Ktm and hyosung? Are they not quite similar? Best 'bike' is definitely the mini bmx Joking!

Best 'bike' is definitely the mini bmx Joking!The KTM LC4 Enduro and Hyosung XRX are very different animals. The KTM, or me Katie Em Elciefor is 625cc compared to the Hyosung's 125cc's and while Katie can be refered to as a super moto (enduro with super moto wheel conversion) the Hysung is definitely NOT super moto. I got the Hyosung through an E.P. Barrus rep I worked with and picked it up cheaper than dealer's can get them for. E.P. Barrus were the sole importers. The Hyosung is a pretty solid Korean bike Manufactured by S&T, one of Korea's biggest manufacturing companys that also make engines and parts for Suzuki. Over the 6 years I've had it there ain't much that's gone wrong with it, it's very reliable and starts on the button every time it's been asked. The engine is the same as Suzuki's GS125 but has DOHC with shims and not SOHC and tappets. I bought the Hyosung to replace a KE100 that I used for a short commute to work as the other bikes I had at the time were all to big.On my recent trip to Scotland the Hyosung would have been better suited, power wise, to the snow on the roads and weather conditions. I'd have had to have fitted different tyres to make it work but would have been ideal for the little twisty tracks and snow covered hill roads. In the snow and icy conditions the KTM has too much grunt and spins up with very little effort... and I'm only little which doesn't help, better with MX tyres. With the Distenzia tyres fitted I struggled with grip when the snow was 1-2" deep. Any deeper than that and it seemed to make it's own tracks and stay in the groove and be a bit more stable. However on the lowland gravel and fire tracks where the road was made of broken rock and gravel me Katie brought a smile to my face and romped on in sideways thumper mode.Here's the KE100 mentioned and the XJR that I got rid of last July just before I moved.
And a dead bird that has been ripped apart by the looks of it.
Yeah. What a bloody racket it made. It gave a good fight though, but ultimately lost.
