Decent basic gear but if he ate it his orthopedic surgeon and wound specialists would wish he was wearing boots and overpants.
I like the KTM's a lot and may very well end up with one, but I vow to keep the stock exhaust. I am done with loud bikes.
Funny my YZ400F and my KLX250S both have FMF Q4 exhausts (the quietest high performance exhaust commonly available) but the KLX seems much louder. The YZ is semi comfortable, and I always wear earplugs.
