Hey all, got a question for any of you that use your motard for daily commuting. I'm thinking of trading my VTR1000 for a 04 KTM525 SX Racing. The KTM has some upgrades and has been registered for street use.
My concern is it would be my soul mode of transport. Also, I have to travle the freeway in order to get around town. at least 15-20 miles one way. Just woundering how this kind of bike would fair comparied to a dedicated streetbike? I understand this particular bike requires more regular maintaince. Which isn't a big deal for me. More concerned about regular wear and tear of riding at highway speeds on a regular basis.
This will be my first motard. I've been riding for a number of years, but primarlily liter twins and I4s. So this is a new experence for me. Trying to get an idea of what I'm in for.
