Anything with 2 wheels, am I right!?
Got a great deal on a Haibike LT 4.0 with 50 miles on it, (220 now?).
Has the yamaha PW-SE, so far loving this thing.
Fits in the garage well with my trusty old Diamond Back XC bike, and my KTM 950 super enduro.?
Need to fab a bike rack for the 950 now!
Has the smart sam tire on it now, doing well and surprisingly fast rolling on pavement.
Front brake nose wheelies in the dirt as well, good stuff.
Ordered a set of Shwlabe Super moto X tires for some commuting.
Pondering deristriction and taller chainring than the 38, but i’ll leave that in the proper forum.???

Cheers to Rob for starting this forum, and for all the members/contributors.
Already getting good info and tips! ??

Nice two wheel collection...be a bit conflicted on whether to ride or 950 or the e-bike since we all love powered acceleration. Have owned a few MC's including a KTM 690 super moto and it tended to garner my attention at ride time. You'll probably need the larger chainring if you do much pavement riding especially if the speed is unrestricted.

It’s a good problem to have picking which one to ride.
Came very close to getting a new 690 from the dealer then a used 950 SE with 8k on it showed up on advrider and i jumped on it, guy even had a second set of 17” street rims & tires.

For sure on the chainring, ordered a 42 to replace the 38, so far I’ll stay with single front ring.
Have seen guys add the front derailleur and 2x rings though.
