I am not going to sit here and tell you that I am even close to an “adventure rider”, but I do love getting out and exploring through the deserts and mountains near my home on dual purpose built machines. I also like to grab the wife, stick her on the back at times, so…
KTM
My son loves riding his 2020 KTM 125SX, but comments all the time on how he feels like the KTM sits taller than his Yamaha YZ125. When I watch him ride I notice that the rear end of his 125SX kicks him in his ass when hitting braking bumps and when that happens, it makes…
The new 2020.5 KTM Factory Edition and Husqvarna Rockstar Edition come with updated SKF seals in the linkage for less friction and actually do make a little difference on the track. With the updated linkage seals the rear of these new 2020.5 bikes feel freer and give less harshness to the back of the bike…
Electric motocross technology is not anything new. It has been in the off-road world for quite sometime, but getting one of the major five manufacturers to get on board with it has been somewhat difficult. Until now… My son’s first two wheeled motorcycle was an Oset electric trials bike and that proved to be the…
The KTM 450SX-F is one my top three 450’s to ride for 2020 and with a few mods it quickly becomes my favorite to ride. I usually try to keep these articles to just 5 mods, but I couldn’t leave out a couple key pieces that I really need on the KTM to feel comfortable…
I raced the Keefer Inc. 2020 KTM 450 SX-F test bike on day two of the World Vet’s and I wanted to put together a parts list of everything that was on my bike. All of the parts on this list were either agreed upon or hand picked by myself because I knew they worked…
As long as I can remember, shootouts have been a staple in our industry. I remember being an 11 year old kid reading about the 1987 80cc Shootout in Dirt Rider Magazine and then proceeding to ask my dad for a Honda CR80 because it was the winner. Little did I know that just because…
Since the delivery of our KTM 125 SX, my son Aden has been riding it non stop. He also has been barking in my ear about getting a pipe and silencer so it “sounds cool”. While I am usually reluctant to add parts to my kid’s bike for the sake of just doing it, I…
2019 KTM 790 Adventure R First Impression
An adventure bike that feels more like a dirt bike…hmmm.
Seiji has been my friend/trainer for a very long time. Seiji loves adventure as well as getting lost into the wilderness. He is the only human that I know that doesn’t need technology in their life to make…
