It’s hard to remember that KTM and Ugly as Sin weren’t always synonymous  :boozing:

I’d never characterize a modern KTM as beautiful, but the big singles are such sweet and powerful riders that they get a pass.

We saw the sun and 50 here today.  I took the Commando for a little carb clearing session around town.  Life is so nice sometimes.

The designers tapped in the wrong places with their white canes. Lovely power plant.
