Located this rare motorcycle in Texas stored in a barn on a ranch near Houston.  Only 1956 original miles. 

The KTM 950 Super Enduro R (950 SE) is widely regarded as one of the most aggressive, uncompromising dual-sport motorcycles ever built. Produced for a very short window, it achieved legendary status precisely because it was "too much motorcycle" for almost anyone.
​
​The Origin: Born from Rally Racing.
​In the early 2000s, KTM was dominating the Dakar Rally with their massive V-twin engines.
​After successfully launching the 950 Adventure, KTM's engineers asked a wild question: What happens if we strip away all the bodywork, give it hardcore dirt bike suspension, and make it a giant dual-sport?
​The answer was the 950 Super Enduro

​The Specs: A Dirt Bike on Steroids
​To understand why the 950 SE is so revered, you have to look at what it was: a 100-horsepower dirt bike.
​Engine: 942cc LC8 liquid-cooled 75^\circ V-twin, carbureted.
​Weight: 410 lbs (185 kg) dry. For a 1,000cc bike, this was astonishingly light.
​Suspension: Premium White Power (WP) suspension
​Seat Height: A towering 36.2 inches (920 mm), requiring serious height or serious confidence to ride.

​Unlike the 950 Adventure, the Super Enduro had no fairings, no windscreen, a smaller fuel tank (3.7 gallons), a trellis frame, and a minimalist dirt-bike seat.

The total global production for the KTM 950 Super Enduro R (950SE) was roughly 3,000 units worldwide during its short production run from 2006 to 2008. 

Why It's a Unicorn
​Because of these low production numbers, the 950SE has achieved legendary status. It was a brief, glorious moment where KTM dropped a 98-horsepower, 942cc LC8 V-twin engine into a minimalistic, carburetor-fed dirt bike frame with no ABS, no traction control, and no fuel gauge. Because there are so few out there, they hold their resale value incredibly well today.

2014 Yamaha R1M

I've been wanting to buy a Yamaha R1 since 1998 when it was  first offered in the States.  Finally, 25 years later, I get the best.  The R1-M 

It's so good!  It was definitely worth the wait, but I also waited too long.

I picked up a new 2022 Vespa 150 Sprint "Justin Bieber" Special Edition. 

Apparently, people are not into JB, so the scooter sat for a few years.  I'm not into Beiber, but i'm definitely into good deals!

Our annual 2025 Monterey Car Week prep.

When I was in my 40s, I would do everything in one week.  Now I spread it out over a month to do it with my boy. 

There are still a few things to do with one day left to do it.
