Best bikes for under £5k: 2003-2012 KTM Adventure

MCN, 11 June 2013 08:30

MCN, 20 May 2013 17:10

"I've been on a couple of trackdays now, one at Brands Hatch, one at Snetterton, and I really thought I'd lose my knee-down virginity – but didn't. I'm 5'11", and ride a bog-stock 2002 Honda Fireblade 954, and the 'hero blobs' are touching down, but my knee isn't. The bike is leant over far enough, I'm lapping in the middle ...
