Hi!

> A new alternative ? - or not your cup of tea 

The KTM looks quite good and seems to be even better. But donīt 
underestimate the vibrations. I once tested a LC4 620 and I must say, 
the vibs are brutal!!! No comparison to a Dominator or another 
japanese Single. As long as the KTM engine has no Balancer 
(Ausgleichswelle), there is no reason to change the bike :-)

BTW: In PS latest issue i read that the new XRV 1000 will have rims 
like a street bike (you know, only three "spokes"). And my dealer 
told me that the new XRV1000 will be mor like a Yamaha TDM. 
Fortunately, Honda decided to keep the 750 :-)

BTW2: According to PS, Honda will present a liquid-cooled XR660, 
which shall participate at Dakar 99!

Ciao,

Marco
