What’s up guys? Even though we are in the middle of our rainy season here, the staff at IPM braved the elements today and performed a shoot out for you guys. Luckily, the sun decided to join us today.

So, we pit the Ducati 848 against the Triumph Daytona 675. Being that it was freezing cold, we were only testing cornering, top speed, and torque. Sorry, the ground was partially wet so we decided against testing the brakes. Enjoy!

That’s it for now. We’ll have to wait until the Spring to give you a more comprehensive analysis between the two bikes. But, you all know I’d take the 675 over the 848 any day! Screw exotica! Stay tuned guys!

It is the first time for the KTM Austria Motorsport Division to offer exclusive Factory-SXS-Kits with high-end RACE components for ambitious owners of KTM four-stroke SX bikes.

Replacing the successful SXS model line up KTM collected all the experience and know-how of the very successful KTM Factory Team in order to offer exclusive Race kits at the highest possible tuning level. The goal is to give fast MX1 and MX2 riders the chance to tune their KTM SX bikes to the highest possible level of performance and reliability in order to make these bikes competitive against pure factory machines on international GP level as well as at national championships. MX2 and MX3 World title and many podium results in the 2008 GP season have proven the high technology level of KTM, which we can offer now also to you.

For the MX season 2009 there will be two engine kits available, one for the 250 SX-F and one for the 450 SX-F.

For order and additional info download the SXS Motorsport Kit 09 PDF here!

What up people? The motorcycle show was awesome. You guys should definitely go when it comes to a town near you. There was one bike that was so cool that I had to go by three times to drool over it. It’s a special full carbon RC8 from KTM. Check it out.

See you next year folks! Stay tuned for more of my top picks of 2009! Peace!
