Stumbled across this on the web and thought the KTM peeps here might like it.   Cool paint job, I guess the right side is a map. Couple more pictures in the link provided, not much info though.

I'd like to try out those tires this winter.

GAK!   Looks like one of my niece's toddlers got to it with a felt tip.

Very interesting... but I don't ride in Antartica

I hear the traffic's a nightmare.

Then don't buy it.

Then don't buy it.  

Ya know, I liken it to this time I was in Jamaica... while we were out and about, we went to a street market and there were these carved wood Giraffes for sale... and they were EVERYWHERE.  They were quite nice I thought and some were in the neighborhood of 6' tall... but, there are no giraffes in Jamaica, so why would I buy one for a "Jamaican" memory?  So I didn't.  My point is, and don't get me wrong, I love the KaTooM Adventure, it's an awesome motorcycle, but I don't ride in Antartica, for the traffic issues, as mentioned before and for various other reasons... So I don't think that I could buy one with a map of Antartica on the side.   Altough I do think that it looks quite good in white.

And polar bears don't live there either.

[SprintRSrider]

Hmmm, so maybe it supposed to be a map of the Artic?

[R Doug]

And polar bears don't live there either.

That is correct.  But penguins do!

Michigan winters would justify this set up, maybe with a Detroit map as an option?

But one of your most vivid memories are of those #$#@?? Jamacian wooden giraffes...

[SprintRSrider]

Oh, don't be ridiculous James  I never said that it was one of my most vivid memories.  

My wife and I got married there, on the beach in Runaway Bay, with the amazingly blue Carribean water in the background, there was a Catamaran in the water, with one of those rainbow sails on it... you know the type...

It was so hot I thought that I was going to melt in my suit.... (who's idea was that anyways?).  At the end of the pictures, my best man ran straight in to the waiting water and dove in, three piece suit, tie, shoes and all.  Damn I wish I had a picture of that, all I have is this mental image .  

Then there was Glistening Waters and swimming with dolphins and the Dunn River Falls and the shear chaos of the street market where said giraffes were located and then there was.......
