Hi!

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
