If the spares shortage will result in us aborting next weekend's ride, I will (believe it or not) dislike the 610 even more.
Said it before, but for someone who doesn't like the 610, you spend a hell of a lot of time discussing it 
I don't like the GS 1200, but I haven't been to that section once ... just saying.
But seriously I hope that ride goes ahead somehow.
haha,
But I have a motive: both my riding buddies sold their perfectly fine KTM's for 610's.
Ha ha but I had the same story with KTM , had to wait 2 weeks for spares for the 530 , and Biking accessories was really bad , always had to traveled to Pro Action !!
Had a bad expirence with Sandstorm racing from day one , so its not better , at least Primrose is much better and willing to help , so thats good enough for me . I love this bike its a complete packages for me and I am willing to wait for spares , my bike is not broken so its fine I am only ordering for future use but the point is if u need something urgently you are probably screwed.( at least for now)
i feel that there is no need to stand up for the TE , if you own one you will understand the awesomeness and if you don't its not my duty to convince you how great they are...................

Ps. I owned a crf 450x , was not impressed at all !!!! Ktm 530 was much better
