cross posted: KTM as a motard

so i posted this in the newbie section and nobody replied, sorry if this is spamming:


i have the opportunity to get a 1995 KTM lc4 400 RXC reasonably cheap. i've looked around at conversion costs for motardation but my concerns are about the KTM as a practical daily driver?

i found a thread about oil changes being a PITA on a good day. what other quirks are there?

how well will this bike be suited to express way speeds (45mph) can it do freeway?

i'm looking for something low on the maintenance intensity scale, and my riding is mostly around town with occasional trips to the twisties. also, i'm a fairly large guy, 6' 250lbs (working on converting it to all muscle)

any insight is appreciated
