Form before function?
I’ve always prefered to put function before form. To that end, I’ve always wanted the KTM to handle as possible on the open road, but this means it sucks at just about everything else.
It sucks when dealing with motorway traffic and city riding in general. -it’s hard on your wrists, and the bike gets hot, then the radiator fan blows hot air all over you.
These days, I’m now using the bike every other day beause my oldest daughter borrows my car often during the week.
This means I need to make the KTM a more practical bike for everyday use.
Some of it’s issues is the difficulty to strap anything to it easily, and my kids reluctance to ride on it’s pillion seat.
(to be fair, it’s not a comfortable seat and they keep sliding forward all the time)
Towards that end I’ve added a packrack to the back of the bike to solve these problems.
Now I’m wondering why I bothered struggling to tie stuff on the back of this bike all these years, when it could of been so much easier…
But with a packrack, life is so much easier..
