72 APRILIA RAD KTM TUONO MOTARD V4 1100 FACTORYthis bike was built for; to get weekend riders offtheir couches and out riding motorcycles.When testing this bike it immediately bringsa smile to your face. This bike really does bringout the hooligan within you, you start to wonderwhy this bike has two wheels, as the front isnever down. When it came to the corners thebike turns in really fast as there is no weight.With regards to the suspension it definitelywasn’t set up for the track, but keep in mindthis bike also needs to remain plush for theweekend playing in the dirt. With that being saidI was really surprised with the brakes, the oneelement of the bike I was the most scepticalabout impressed me the most. I thought thatthe brakes would fade after around 6 laps ofriding the bike, and after having ridden the bikeconsistently for about 20 laps before stoppingthe brakes were still fine and did not over-heat.This bike is a lot of fun to ride and perfect foranyone that is torn between choosing between adaily commute, a bike to play with on weekendsor even the occasional short circuit track day.The idea behind having aspecific bike is usuallydue to a single factor, I.e.MX, enduro, motard or adventureriding. The KTM EXC-F500 can easily be convertedfrom an enduro bike into amotard or even a street bike,which should be appealing tomany customers looking for amultifunctional bike.The EXC-F 500 handled alot better than I expected withmotard tyres and the suspensionset up for enduros. I personallyfeel that the EXC-F 500turns exceptionally well as isexpected with the carbon fibrerims and 17-inch wheels.For the “weekend warrior”it will easily hold its line withthe right setup. Never the less2ND OPINIONWoodwardSAVANNAHI enjoyed being out on the bikedue to its easy turning andpower delivery that comes witha punch.I could feel that therewere some slightly unsettlingfactors the harder I startedpushing the bike. In sayingthat I believe these issues caneasily be resolved with a fewchanges to the suspension setup.I would suggest that if youare striving to push hard on anasphalt circuit that the brakesare changed to an after-marketsystem which will avoidbrake fade during your day outon the track.For the market aimed at, Iconsider the EXC-F 500 to bethe perfect fit as it’s a cheapthrill.
