Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

You guys with your no riding season. . . you all suck.

Here it's basically 6 months on, 6 months off.

ML:

Why that over the Hyper?

Just curious because I am looking into a Hyper.

Thanks
Why do roaches always die on their back?

I rode both 7 days apart.  I rode the exact same demo route.

The KTM was better, I hate to say it.  The Hyper looks tits, for sure, but smile per dollar ratio was in favor of the KTM.

The Duc is just as fast, and stops just as fast.  I liked the KTM engine better, just a touch smoother and it had a longer torque curve, or at least it felt like it did.

Suspension was full on WP stuff on the KTM and felt better than the HM (I didn't ride the S)

HM = $14,000 new
KTM = $8300 (with 500 miles on it)

You can't fight the price if it put the same smile on your face!  [thumbsup]

I am going to test ride the Hyper Thur or Fri.

Also, the KTM had a better seat.

I tend to ride some distance now and again and the HM didn't seem like the touring type.

Of course, I did ride my 675 to DIMBY, and that's about as far from a tourer as you can get [laugh]

Report back after you ride it, Im curious to hear what you think.
