Apollo Dirt Bikes

Who has actual pictures of an Apollo dirt bike? Not just a catalog picture, I'm wondering how these things hold up in reality.

Great article on budget friendly motorcycles. Typically the pricing is always better if the engine displacement is smaller. In today's world these machines are so powerful that you can get away with a smaller engine anyway. So smaller more economical engine is the way to go for a lot of people, they just don't know it.

Budget Friendly motorcycles

I was checking out the KTM street bikes and surprised I hadn't noticed these before.

QuoteKTM 390 Series
The KTM RC 390 hit the US market in 2014, with the Duke 390 coming in 2015. Although positioned to take on its well-known Japanese peers, this Austrian/Indian contender punches above its weight, or lack thereof. The RC 390 weighed in at 324 pounds, with the Duke 390 hitting a mere 306 pounds. Factory numbers are famously optimistic, but either one makes a fantastic intro to the principles of power-to-weight ratios.

Both models got a DOHC single-cylinder liquid-cooled 373cc powerplant that put out 44 hp or so. ABS is standard for both, regardless of year. KTM offers a thick catalog of track-ready add-ons and fun bits. And of course, you'll already have one of the better trackday weapons around, in terms of handling, composure, and flickability. For a novice rider with trackday aspirations and a modest budget, the 390 means you're halfway there before you hit the starter.

Anybody riding the KTM 390 street bike? I literally never saw one on the road

Any CRF 450 owners out there? I just picked up a 450 and it runs awesome. I'm going to try to post some pics. I'm psyched about my new dirt bike.
