EC 300 vs. KTM XC-W

I wonder............Does the Road Runner ride a GasGas? If someone has some evidence, that would be interesting!!!

Well, history does show that the Road Runner always beat the Coyote, and the Coyote always rode something that sold really well but turned out it was not all it was hyped up to be. I also did a google on what "beep beep" means in bird talk and it is definitely "GasGas"...

Although I highly respect Wile E Coyote, mainly for his work as a world leading physicist (plus, our mechanical engineering skills seem to be at similar levels) - I found proof the road runner is a Gas Gas rider.

Everyone knows Wile E rides ACME motorcycles and those are just Chinese knock offs based on a 4 stroke 125 Yamaha engine.

Road runner seems to have his traditional road runner confidence in this photo - possibly inspired by his choice of high quality equipment.


(Pardon the poor pshop image, I'm actually working today and didn't have time to play around too long.)

Roadrunner got an '07 I see, impressive.

He still gets pretty hefty royalty checks from his tv appearances and merchandising. He can afford new toys every year.

An informative thread (up until the point of Coyote & Road Runner entered the mix).

As the KTM line matures, 2007, 2008; for those who would only buy a new bike, those are the bikes I'd like to see compared. The likelihood that I'll get a chance to test ride a GG is low, so I have to educate my self vicariously.

I enjoy blowing a good thread all to hell.

Wow, I didn't realize that my simple coyote pic could result in such controversies. The brands are just two different flavors of ice cream. Both are good, it's just mine looks like orange sherbet. You don't have to eat my cone if you don't like it.

Whoa, hold on, I definitely don't see any controversies, just a little friendly ribbing. Of all sites, I'm pretty sure that no one on here cares what anyone else rides. Sorry if you took it the wrong way...

Allright, I just put a deposit on my '07 EC300, I will update as soon as I swing a leg over it! I am like my five year old son when it comes to new bikes, we just can't get enough. BTW, after all my research, I stuck with the GasGas, but I am very sure that if I bought the KTM, I would be every bit as happy! Its kinda like buying a new guitar, a good player can make the biggest piece of crap sound awesome, I, on the other hand, can make a $6000 Gibson sound like a ukelale missing two strings!!! Stay tuned!!!!!

Yeah, I'm only having fun. Even with "smilies" words can be misunderstood sometimes.

Hey Tony, Congrats on the new EC300. You will really enjoy the GG's and the great bunch of folks on here. By the way, I suggest adding your location to your profile. This helps when answering questions that may be region specific.
