Thanks Steve, I enjoyed that!
Almost makes me want to head for the garage and finally install that Keihin FCR-MX that I've got sittin' in a box.
Almost.
Maybe tomorrow.  ::)

Awesome video! I guess I'm not riding my DR650 correctly. Most of the time my front wheel is on the ground. What am I doing wrong?

I put the Mikuni TM40 Pumper carb on mine and love it.

You need a KTM engine.

About the only truth in this video is that the DR is cheaper.
It is funny though.

Add in the DR being dead reliable as well, KTM's......not so much.

My '01 640 SuperMoto has nearly 25K miles. I know that's not a ton of miles, but no problems as of yet  ;)
