Well boys I have been taking some time away from my rc latly mainly because I just got a new dirt bike. I used to ride a xr400 and dont get me wrong it was a good bike but just didnt go fast enough in the desert, but in the woods it was a dream machine. So after doing a little searching and deciding what I want here it is my new bike KTM 525 XC. I love it. So far I got all the guards like front and rear disk guards and skid plate hand guards, grafix kit, CF front fork guards, and a few other little goodies. I can't wait to break it in this friday if everything works out. I want to know how fast a 6 speed really is. Heres a pic of it.

I have been thinking that if I ever got another bike it would be that exact one! Great choice! Let us know how it rides!
 
I used to ride a CR250r and then I went to a XR6600r and I loved the 600 then I got out of it and if I were to ever get back into dirt bikes I would either looook at a 450 Yamaha or a 525 KTM. I have ridden both bikes and they are both nice.
 
Ya its really sweet, I just want to go riding lol. I think its runing a little lean right now so a re-jet might be in order. I can't wait for winter and the desert racing series to kick up again. Thanks for the complements guys!

And if your refering to the xr600, great bike. My dad had an 86 and that thing riped, the only year with the bad ass gold wheels and nice spedometer. When I was in the 5 grade what ever that put me at, I got it up to 76mph, what a rush. He rides a xr650 now, and I have got it up to 84 and craps just whizing by at that speed lol. Saposibly this bike is capable of 106 stock so I'm interisted to see what its got in her.

Man I've been looking at those new ktm's wondering if i should buy one, you gotta let us know how that bike feel's,I've been wanting a bike for awhile and I'm bouncing between the kfx450 or a husqavarna 450
 
That's a sweet ride man... Good luck with it...
I just ordered about $500 worth of protective gear after riding the local MX track for the first time... Don't be a fool, get the right gear now...

The Kfx is a great bike, you can't go wrong with it. That was my other option besides geting this one. The parts are more avalible beings its not an import so to speak. Pluse it has tuns of "cahones" if you know what I mean, I rode one last time I went to the track like a week ago and it rips. The Husky, not so much, the look cool but are not the greatest bikes any more. Parts are a pita to come by. Although there is a 125 siting at the dealer right now for 3grand and id love to have it for a track bike but anyway.

Trust me on the gear thing. I have it all and then some. 2 sets. I also just got a set of alpinestar tec 8's and am in love, there so f-in comfortable. And I also just got a new helmet. Arai helmet. I know my dad is going to kick my ass when he see's it and what I spent on it, 1 because its better then his, and 2nd because I sent 500 on it lol. It worth it because they are the best and if I start racing desert at triple digit speeds I want the best.

Thanks again,
Bryson
 
Well just thought id give you guys a little update. The bike is a freakin blast. Its got way more power then my old bike and is a total beast in power. I'm going out to the desert this weekend for the first time since breakin, and since i broke my foot so it should be a good time. Heres a newer pic from today, with my new pipe on it and new handguards.
