It came with all kinds of goodies too For example: full titanium akra exhaust, STM slipper clutch, Alpina wheels, KTM racing yokes, Beringer brake/clutch/master cylinder, beringer front caliper, brembo rear caliper, ktm racing wave rotors, SS brake lines, etc.
It's a 2007 KTM 525 EXC turned SMR (This is replacing my Speed Triple; may it sell soon!)

I was riding with this kid on this day. He crashed four times, in four different locations, with this one being caught on film.
Yeah, go to Adams. If you are lucky maybe Max Biagi will be there to give you some pointers as he's been known to show up there (along with Nicky Hayden and Ben Spies).

I actually don't agree with the knee down thing on a SM. If you start to play with your leg out it feels good after a while. You can lay these bikes down what seems far more than a road bike. I'm not an experienced off-rider so I had to learn a load of new habits but letting the back end loose and leaning the front and just generally letting everything go relaxed seems to work in a way that I wouldn't ever do on a road bike. Having your leg out makes sense after a while. I can't remember properly now but it felt like everything was at the front and the back did what it wanted to but I wan't that bothered because the bike behaved itself so much and looked after me. (does this make sense to more experienced SM riders??? )
Get yourself a pair of heavy duty motocross boots though, sports boots are not up to the abuse!

there is nothing quicker on a tight mountain pass, remember blasting past so many sport bikes on my local mountain (read very tight)... round the inside/outside... wherever.. the amount of speed that you can throw into a corner with these things in low speed corners is hilarious.
You have inspired me to go get a 690smc r.. always wanted one. I miss being a complete moron on the roads (impossible not to be on a motard).
i even used to ride off-road trails with road tyres. ... teaches you how to slide well.. bugga you have cost me at least 13 grand from this post...

I'm going to probably take this instead of the superduke this Sunday when I go riding with Aphex and somwone from the site. Nothing like getting hands-on learning experience. Aphex probably will have pointers.
I may be young but my body feels old lol. Me maturing..... maybe a little
