Post by: superfoxi on August 19, 2016, 07:13:19 pm: My first bike was a KTM 504 with that bloody K4 Rotax engine. Was a bitch to kick start and split the soles of my new Nike tekkies in half...
That motor was so heavy that it was almost impossible to wheelie - but it would wheel-spin up to third gear. ;D

Post by: WildWood on August 19, 2016, 07:13:34 pm: Nice one Colin.

If that solid front disc is stainless steel, braking in the rain could be quite a challenge :)
