KTM Six Days Enduro2013 International Six Days EnduroKTM, the main sponsor of the 2013 FIM International Six Days Enduro, will be on hand in Sardinia from Sept. 30 to Oct. 5, offering a variety of services.
During the famed ISDE, the Austrian manufacturer will offer loads of useful services to competitors, including bike transport, rental, race assistance and spare parts service, along with KTMs for sale.European ISDE riders will have the opportunity to buy a Six Days model (shown above) at an official dealer and ask for the transport service in Sardinia. The bike will be delivered “race-ready” with registration and insurance.Once the rider completes the ISDE, he or she simply gives the motorcycle to KTM, which ships it to the rider’s home dealership. For non-European competitors, there is the possibility to rent a bike, choosing among the following models: 125 EXC; 250 EXC, 300 EXC, 250 EXC-F, 350 EXC-F, 450 EXC; 500 EXC.As the more experienced riders know, logistic is one of the most important features and it’s really important to have a reliable assistance. For this reason, KTM has an assistance point in every checkpoint. Furthermore, there will be a spare parts service in the paddock.For further information, log onto ktm.com.

This week, in the first segment Editor Don Williams talks to us about the new Kawasaki Versys 650 LT. It’s the middleweight ADV style machine that uses the same 650 parallel twin motor as the Ninja 650, so it’s an excellent performer in a user-friendly, good looking package.
In the second segment, I chat with one of my dearest industry friends—now retired Honda PR executive, Jon Seidel. Jon’s fascinating career spans some 30 years with Big Red, and gave him some great experiences with some incredible machines. I was fortunate enough to be invited on many of the press launches that he organized. His new project is documenting and saving many of the old archives from years gone by—and incidentally, if you have anything that may be of value to the project, please contact us by email at producer@ultimatemotorcycling.com and we’ll pass it all on to Jon.
So on that note, from all of us here at Ultimate Motorcycling, we hope you enjoy this episode!
