Ha ha my sx 125 2T has around 38bhp as it only has a couple of hours on a rebuilt engine,it’s mental and wants to throw you off in 1st 2nd and 3rd gear,I’m 50 now so it’s big enough for me,plus better to ride a small cc bike at 100% than a big bike at 10%
That was a reply to funkydogs post,I’ve been away that long that I forget how to reply to a post,ffs

I was born at the right time. Today's bikes would kill me very quickly.
I got my first inkling of how things were going when reading a road test of the new (at the time) Kawasaki 500cc 3 cylinder 2 stroke. 100mph at quarter throttle. Snap the throttle open and she would pop a wheelie.
Honestly love 2 strokes, no torque unless you have the bigger cc versions but God damn they rip... my friend with his Suzuki rmz 450 had a go of my ktm sx125 with 200 top end, got about 20 meters and blipped the throttle up come the front wheel nearly hit himself in the head with handle bars all i could hear is him screaming "I fucking hate 2 strokes" hahahaha

That's genius if you get pulled over while on the second for speeding on the first just be like, Officer this bike is obviously not the same as the one you were claiming this bike is a totally different color.
I have never rode one but it sounds right up my alley, I love small bikes with tons of pep.
There is quite a bit of wildlife over in my neck of the woods as well, I had to dodge a deer on my 1000 not long ago, but the closest I got to an animal related wipe out was when riding with some buddies, I was at the rear of the pack and as my friends rode past some roadkill they stirred up a couple vultures who immediately flew towards the rode. I laid down on my bike pushing flat against the tank and still felt the bird graze my helmet.
Nice bike man, KTM makes some monsters I bet that thing is a trail slayer, my girlfriend keeps thinking about getting the KTM Superduke.
I keep telling her its a lot of bike going from the CBR 250R but what can a man really tell a women?
Man when I got on my 1000cc for the first time after this last winter I just got on it and gave her the goose without thinking (had been riding the Grom all winter) the bike immediately stood up like a clock hand pointing at 12, after that ass clenching moment I rode her like she was stolen, found out I could hit 120mph(193k) in first gear.
That being said I still consider myself very much afraid of the bike and have not been over 155mph(231k) even though she has a lot more to offer.
After changing the 2v to a 4v head and the Akrapovic exhaust my little Grom sounds remarkably like a 2 stroke dirt bike, I personaly love two strokes when you compare the CBR 250R to the NSR 250 or the 250RW its night and day, If I ever run across a NSR for a decent price I'll buy it in an instant.
As long as a few skint knees didn't keep you out of the saddle, I slung my self off my Cbr250 one day, hit a patch of gravel going around a tight corner and the front wheel just "disappeared" on me, next thing I knew I was in a ditch on the side of the road and the bike was just a couple feet away, some small scrapes and a bloody nose were all I came up with, (half helmet) the CBR only had one tiny tiny scratch on the front fairing and a broken mirror. I was soo happy the bike was fine for the most part lol.
I also went down hard on my CBR 600 on a dirt road during a thunderstorm, that cause a good bit more damage to me than the bike that time but I'm still alive no worries.
You still do any riding George?

No I give it up A few years back. I broke my foot. Fell off my house, and it will be some time before the pain goes away. But I road off and on. I had A Honda 150 in High school, but my best friend at the time total it one day, and broke almost every bone in his body. I didn't ride again until after the war. But never had a bad accident my self, so luck out as an Adult rider.

I'm more than familiar with sliding down the road... often tangled in with my bike - My Mum was right, cars are safer
