The first of Christian Iddon's 2009 World Supermoto bikes is started for the first time and is ready for testing
10-02-2009
Christian headed to Italy yesterday for a training / testing session with Team Motoracing. The first of Christian's 2009 World Supermoto KTM bikes is ready for riding. It has the frame modifications that Christian has requested but does not have the race engine currently. In Christian's words:
"The bike's just been fired up for the first time. The engine isn't the new one I'll be using but it's the new frame I have asked for. Should get to ride Thursday and Friday. Going for leathers fitting tomorrow morning etc so probably won't make it on track tomorrow. Will certainly try though!"
The photo of the bike is in the mobile blog.
