We received a great email from an ex-colleague who was inspired from one of our photos of the clay model of the KTM rally bike to build his own rally bike based on his KTM 690 Enduro!
“Hi Piers!
I hope you remember me – here is Rafal Gorski from Arc Warsaw. We were working together in Arc Frankfurt (e.g. Harman Kardon website) for some short period. damn it was… 10 years ago, this is crazy…
When I realized that you are the guy responsible for running DE and designing GFX of my both KTM bikes (690enduro, 450exc) I could not believe my eyes:)
It is because your site has played important role in my story with motorbikes.
After reading couple of stories of your friends on derestricted who visited South America (To the Clouds, Martin and Christian) I knew that it would be one of my next trips,
I did it last year and had a chance to follow Dakar riders.
But when I saw first photos of Coma and Valadoms visiting to Kiska for the launch of 450 rally my jaw dropped. I fell in love in that project at first sight. Shapes and clay colours – that was it – my next buid.
So here it is. I call it “A tribute to Kiska and derestricted”. With a help of mechanics from KTM Warsaw and Perfect-Fairings.com I’ve transformed my 690 enduro into 690 rally.
A friend of mine, photographer and KTM geek, Lukasz Zietek shoot some photos I’m sharing with you. It would be an honour to see them on DE!
Starting from next week this motorbike will be my best companion on Kazachstan and Tajikistan trails.
Best,
Rafal

WAS THIS FROM A BRAND NEW 690 OR AN OLDER ONE?
DO YOU HAVE LUGGAGE FOR IT OR DO YOU RACE?
WHAT WAS THE TOTAL COST OF THE BUILD – WE HAVE A LOT OF IMPORT TAX TO PAY IN KENYA!
