Preety cool for riding a bike…
the musics way too lightweight-needs to be more hardcore

From 450 to about 800 ccm.

Sadly the following year he lost his life..
RIP Andy.
nuh, 690′s
690 Adventure
Interesting how KTM owns dakar but cant beat honda in the baja 1000 or 500. Ever. I wonder why.
This version (the Dakar version at least) is the 690 rally. I’ve heard of a 690 adventure but I think that that’s either a rumor or that it’s still to come out.
Dakar is all about consistancy and reliability…steady wins the race. I love Honda (I ride an XR) but the combination of sick assed riders who can go the distance and a reliable high performace racing bike win the day at Dakar
Andy would have went on to win a Dakar for sure.
Do they try?
KTM has entered the Baja 1000 for years. Cant beat the crf 450s now.
