October 15, 201312 yr Anyone actually got/ridden one???? I am thinking of a new LDT, Trail bike , and like the Idea, but my local super store (Bristol), nudge nudge, wink wink!!!! say if I even want to see one, I have to put a deposit on, ass they are going straight out??? But as allways KTM drip feed them for the first half of the year , then knock a grand off to try and shift them at the end...
October 15, 201312 yr A guy i know at motorcycle shop in Farnham has one and the engine let go within 5 minutes of starting it. It needed a full rebuild. He had to wait for weeks for it to come back . They should have replaced it , but maybe they couldnt get one. They do look nice though .

Have seen one in the flesh - Drysdales KTM in Perth (Scotland) have one in stock. Looks really narrow and light - I am really tempted by one. Plenty chat about the 250r on ktmforum and the bike got great reviews in TBM. I think it is the best option for LDT and a generally fun bike.
October 15, 201312 yr If I didn't have my Bultaco Freeride I would be tempted too. Saw one ridden by a trials minder at our national championship. looks very nimble and a lot of fun...
October 15, 201312 yr Unfortunately there are no trail bike trials near me or I would ride them but, from the reports I've seen, such a specialist machine might well be barred from some events. Is that the case?
October 15, 201312 yr Not mentioned on the ACU's ineligible list for the Trail Bike Championship as yet http://www.acu.org.uk/news/2012/12/2013-trail-bike-championship/ Don't know if you can still ride 'ineligible' bikes out of class for no award though, at least you still get a day out on the bike then.

Seen several of the 4t ones at LDT's, and i guess the dimensions are simmilar, think it is all about wheelbase. the baned bikes are all one day trials bikes with seats.
