There are SO many different makes and models out there today, its hard to start deciding where to start when you are in the mind to buy your next addition. Whether you a first time buyer or working on extending your already large fleet. (~cough~ Robbie). AdMo-Tours offers rentals on tons of options across the globe, our clients find it a very convenient way to drive the bike before they buy. If you are looking to purchase a new bike, check your area or an area you are traveling to on our rental page to see if we can offer you a rental before you buy.

This topic is to discuss how you decided to commit to your bike.
What make and model?
What year?
Why did you decide for this one?
Did you own or ride any other bikes, and what are your thoughts on those ones?

KTM 200 exc for play on dirt, roads and snow. An awesome woods bike that feels very right in the tight stuff. Pleanty of usable power but feels like it needs 5 more speeds when I get on dry pavement. Prolly the best enduro I have ever ridden. In the woods, it has enough power to really have a gas. The brakes, suspension and controls are very easy on the body compared to other Mx bikes.
Cr-500 for open sand...need new back tire, chain and sproket.. A true beast...any hill...any gear...power.
The power can blow minds, cause an ocassional high side or even an unsuspecting slide out. The deep 105 db of ground shredding power.
Old YZ-250 as a guest bike and for my kids to ride along wi\th me. Narrow-powerband that takes some getting used too and can still cause me to go vertical.
Got spanked in the woods by sudden poerband syndr\ome and had to ride it home with one side of the handle bars missing.
To commute to my 17 mile away job I use a 2003 Harley Davidson Roadking ex police bike. Bought it with 2,000 miles has 35,000 on it now. It seems to eat back tires and back brakes. I know what the bike is and ride it like a nascar driver would a big caddy.

I would like to try a big thumper of a KTM.
The Harley Weighs seven hundred and somthing...I coud deal with a big thumper.
HAd a 1976 RM-370 back in the early 80s. Liked the two stroke power. i WEIGHED 140 BACK THEN
nOW AT 220, and being used to flicking a roadking around, I find the ktm 200 feels like a bicycle. LEan it an gas it as it snaps around.

Today's ride
Had to work today, a sunday.
After work I fueled up the ktm, checked tire pressure, spokes, and performed an general visual inspection of the overall bike for any problems (SURE I DID)
Put my Oneals on, and hit the powerlines........Practiced some feet on the pegs, back wheel powesides, Getting easier as the rear tire slowly turns into a slick.
Awesome way to blow off some steam
