    BMW G450X - Speed warning - how serious is it?

    I bought my wife this bike just before they were taken off the market and it is now already long out of warranty. Has had every service required, etc. Unbelievably the bike only has around 25 hours on the clock - play time is rather limited. One of the reasons for the low hours is that every...

    What does a vintage KTM look like?

    It was a post by ETS about parts for a 30 year anniversary 990 that made me think about this. There are plenty of examples of vintage and not so vintage BMW's, Hondas and Yamahas being restored, but I have never seen anyone doing a KTM. According to Wikipedia KTM started making bikes in 1953...
