tlaking to a buddy that i know from work who used to race for KTM desert here in CA he said he blew up 3 new 08s before he switched and started riding for Hengeveld honda team. Any reports of these exc street legal models that are suspect, the problem he said was something to do with the new dual cam setup. I have long wondered if i should get rid of my XR and CBR600 and get a 525/530 plated and have 2 sets of tires for dirt and street 17's.
btw nice pics and writeup
