Right on AJ! I was looking at Cr 500s' and ATK thumpers back when I bought my 360, and I started doing the math: Hmmm.... if I buy Jap, I'll need an 18" rear wheel; (at least the 500 has it, but not the 250s'), aluminum bars; lights would be nice if I stay out a little late; a wide ratio tranny would be nice for hitting the power line roads; yes, I'll definately need to get a larger tank for those 50 mile loops I like to do; let's see, how much is all this going to add to the price of this CR? Wait a minute, this KTM over here already has all this stuff! What was I thinking? Guess which one I ended up with? And my friends thought I was 'high' for spending $400.00 more! The joke's on them! Pipe, skidplate, handguards-that's it,
the bikes done. One day the masses will awaking to discover what we already know: in the off-road realm, KTMs' rock! Ride on!
