In 2007 Honda Canada gambled big that Canadian riders were ready for a small, unintimidating, but sporty motorcycle.

‘Arris had put together a team for last year’s inaugural P-D and had run the course on a KTM 640 Adventure. Even though this bike could be considered one of the best tools for the job, he came away from the event feeling like he’d been tossed into a rather large and dirty tumble dryer for sixteen hours. The idea of taking a near-500 lb vintage BMW on this ride was, in his books, a recipe for disaster.

So let's start by breaking down the bike into its component parts and summarizing how each bit held up over the year.

It's not a bad job really. Ride a bike for a week or two, analyze what it's doing and then spew out some witty wordage. Slap in a couple of pics, post it online and it's time for the next one.
