KTM Adventure description

Up for sale is my 2004 KTM 950 Adventure S with so many upgrades I will specify separately. 

I bought the bike in trade for a 1200GSA and it is a better riding bike in every way. The suspension was professionally re-valved and restrung for rider/luggage combination of 260 pounds. It handles better than my 1200GSA with Ohlins ever did. It runs like a scalded ape. It has the power a super bike and is dirt worthy to boot. I have ridden this bike the most of all my motorcycles and have loved it the most. It pains me to sell her but I am moving and cannot take motorcycles with me so she has to go. 

Here are all the upgrades, well, most of them:

Adventure S Suspension properly set up, valved and sprung.
Scotts/Ohlins steering dampener with aftermarket billet top triple clamp so dampener can be under handlebar.
Renazco touring/racing suede seat.
Akrapovic Titanium exhaust (This exhaust is $1000 and not being made any more)
Tourtatech Aliminium skid plate (black powder coat)
Fastway footpegs
Euro head light conversion 
New gel battery
Gobi luggage racks
Billet clutch slave cylinder
High front fender kit. (I have the original, and you are welcome to it)
Upgraded rear brake lever (folds back in stead of getting hooked)
Zipty front axle easy pull
KTM power parts sprocket 
Orange powder coat axle caps and clutch master cylinder cover.

Custom Orange paint that has copper pearl in it. (Very cool color. I repainted the bike due to the comon tank paint bubbling issue and i had a small fall that scratched the paint. I included pictures of the bike before paint so you can see the damage was minor and the paint bubbling.)

Bike also comes with a set of Metzeler Karoo II, very handy in the dirt and still in great shape.

The bike has been gone through from top to bottom to make sure everything is in order. No expense has been spared in keeping her in pristine order. 
All recalls have been done and oil just changed. Even the coolant has been upgraded. I'm sure I'm forgetting some good stuff but it is a great bike and the closest thing to a new KTM 950 that I have seen.

In an effort to disclose every possible thing, here are the known flaws:

The visor, hand guard, brake master and crash bars have some scratches from the fall i had. (covering them up seemed dishonest). Again pics of that are included.
Rear tire will take you home if you fly and ride but that is about it. (it will need replaced, but has not been, so that you can blast home on the interstate). I can also replace it for you if you want just work out the details with me.

Please feel free to come and look at this bike. You will not be disappointed. Really nice bike, and the paint is one of a kind.

There is a $500 non refundable deposit due within 24 hours. I also have the bike for sale locally and reserve the right to end auction early.

2014 AMA Supercross – San Diego Results

Mon, 10 Feb 2014

James Stewart captured his first AMA Supercross win of the season, leading all 20 laps before a crowd of 56,828 fans at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, Calif. The Yoshimura Suzuki rider becomes the fourth different winner of  the season in the 450 class through six rounds. The news was less positive for last week’s winner Chad Reed.

The future. But we can't have it

Thu, 10 Nov 2011

It's no secret that we motorcyclists are getting older. We're ageing because less people are passing their bike test each year (roughly 30,000 last year compared to 50,000 for the 10 years before the new two-part test) and so not only is the pool not growing it's not even being replenished and so the average age isn't being diluted down by yoof. When the going gets tough in any situation, you really get to see who's got their shit-sorted and who's light enough on their feet to adapt to change.

US Motorcycle Thefts Down 6% in 2011

Tue, 09 Oct 2012

Americans reported 46,667 motorcycle thefts in 2011, a 6% decrease from 49,791 stolen motorcycles in 2010, reports the National Insurance Crime Bureau. Despite the drop in reported thefts, the non-profit organization representing nearly 1100 property and casualty insurance companies says the theft rate still averages out to one motorcycle stolen every 11 minutes in the U.S. The numbers were published in the NICB’s 2011 ForeCAST Report which examined theft reports as well as recoveries.
