Talking Ktm noob

What's up all,

Just picked up a super sweet 2010 530 EXC CE.
Guy put street tires on it as soon as he got it in April 2010 and it has not seen dirt at all. The bike looked brand new, not a single scratch on the plastics, it came with HID X2 headlights, cooloing fan, resprocketed and was already uncorked. Well I took care of the no dirt part last Sunday. Had the dirt tires installed, new rear spring and bark busters on and away we went into the mountains. Now prior to this bike I rode an XR650R BRP (still have it, hard to say good by) and what a difference as far as handling, never mind the e-starter, what a glorious button it is. I have made more than a few trips to Baja on the 650R, can't wait to see how the 530 does. Got a few mods on order, EE seat and Clockworks gas tank but still need to respring the forks and possible steering stab. The list could go on, but don't want to interfere with riding and here in SoCal riding is all year round. NICE.

Two pics: first was the day I bought her and second was the day she became a dirty girl.

Welcome!

Nice bike.

I also used to ride a BRP. After riding with some buddies that had
WR's and KTM with e-starts, I switched back in 2003 to KTM.
