It's also the same engine in the 701 Enduro and Supermoto.



Well, I watched a 6ft tall Jay Leno ride it and he looked fine (and stated he was very comfortable. It is bigger than it looks. The bike is made in Austria after all. In fact, most KTM/Husqs fit taller riders better than most.

The LC2 is a dam good motor..but not cheap to fix if you pop it as one of the guys I ride with found out....$2000 for parts... lucky he could rebuild it him self..

the 950 super enduro is the bike to have... if you can ever find one & when you do they
are worth there weight in gold... LC4 motor.. 950cc vee twin & 100hp in a full enduro frame.
KTM only made them for 3 years then turned them in to the adventure bikes they now sell..

google them if yer want to see what insanity on wheels looks like...
