Sub-Goon's '99 kTm LC4 640 Adventure R

[Sub-Goon]

I've been riding about 20 years now, everything from Harleys to cafes to grey market Japanese bikes, but this is my first dual sport.... I picked it up 3 yrs ago with a blown motor, swapped in a barely used motor, spent 2 weeks getting it straightened out and then left on a 2.5 week/3500 mile jaunt from Bay Area, CA thru Oregon, Idaho & Montana, then back thru Idaho, Washington & Oregon!

This is how she looked the week after I got her home and found the motor was scrap!

Leap forward 3 years and she's looking like this now!

Teakettle Junction in Death Valley!

This bike has done alot! It's been all over the West Coast US and Baja Cali! Not too many bikes that are comfy at 70mph on the freeway and then do the desert at 60+mph!
