This KTM 500 EXC-F dual sport made me take it home. I was powerless to resist!

Wow--just made the DRZ obsolete. <muaha> Congrats! Heading to Colorado with the right equipment next time?


Edit: just looking at the specs, 258 lbs. Thats gotta handle like a dream in the rough.

Yeah, 60+ lbs lighter than the DRZ and literally twice the horsepower. It goes like stink! Here's what a professional enduro rider does with one of these (not me, not even from a distance).

Can you put a Rekluse in the KTM? I'd love to take a short spin on the DRZ before you sell it to see what all the fuss is on the Rekluse.

Yes, there's Rekluse for KTM. But, in my limited experience with the gobs of power and wide ratio gearing it's not going to be a necessity like it is for the DRZ. Rekluse on the DRZ makes it so the engine can't stall out in the low speed tough stuff when set up with stock "S" gear ratios suitable for highway. It's a great confidence booster.
