It's no secret that the 2009 KTM450exc is one of the best enduro weapons on the market these days. Even the boys at ADB mag had a lot of good words to say about the beast in their latest shoot out against the new hi tech BMW G450X, Husaberg FE450 and the Yamaha WR450f when they gave the title to the Kato once again.

The 2008 Yamaha Blue Light Ride conditions have been the best seen over the history of this event. With a good lead up of rain and an overnight top up the night before the event, the terrain was as good as it gets.

Let the people be heard. Suttos Motorcycles KTM and Husaberg Demo Day was the average punters opportunity to be a test rider for a day.
