Topic: What Motorcycle Have You Been Obsessing About Today?

If I had my hear set on a KDX it would be a 95+ or an older air cooled one. The ones in the middle are sort of..halfway. If one of these popped up I may take the plunge. We built a Yamaha YZ125 with a big bore kit and heavier flywheel and it was a hoot in the woods. Any 125 can pretty much be made into a little rocket.

If I'd allow myself to get a bike, this is sooo gorgeous

Sold for 5,500 USD - someone got a good deal!

[Arthur Dent]

Wow. Good deals are rare on BAT too.




I kinda want a Honda CT90. There was a CT110 sold in Canada which is cool as well. Shame we don't get the latest version here.

[rrocket]

We do get the monkey though!

And I want one.

[Bubba]

There's a beaten up old KDX200 for sale in Belleville.

Trying hard not to look...

What year??

I LOVED my KDX! Did the 6 Days of Michigan on one.

Tons of aftermarket support from Fredette Racing.

That's the one you want (liquid cooled).

I'll leave this here for you

I've seen that site, it's one of the reasons I want it.

Like I need another bike I don't ride

Hot damn this is one sexy beast of a bike.  Nothing like taking a great bike and making it noticeably better looking.  Lord knows how much it will be or if any will actually be available in NA, but still worthy of a morning obsession.

LOL, that's exactly what they haven't done! 

They've taken a std KTM and added some bling, without touching the power output, all for +$30K more than the original bike, which was already pretty great. There are some much more special Ducati's and MV's for that money (or less).

[JohnnyMac]

There I fixed my post Bob, is that better.  I really didn't mean that it performed better (not like it had to with how good the original bike is).

Still a shame though, seeing as Brabus are known for their engine work, a bit of a wasted opportunity IMHO. It will appeal to the G-Wagon crowd as something to display next to their SUV.

That MV is a pure work of art. 

[Triple Bob]

Agreed, I'd love either.

Yes, the Ducati that partnered with a furniture company!

That MV is a pure work of art. 

Totally.

That is how they are sold in europe. $17 000 Euro.   

[Fobroader]

I'm still drooling over the Triumphs, the T120 is one of the best looking bikes, IMO of course, I've ever laid eyes on, it might have to happen sooner than later

[Jaeger]

It's a gorgeous bike. I checked out a few of them when I was shopping for the Trident.  I'm partial to its close cousin, the Speed Twin.  A bit more power, a bit less weight, same classic looks.
