Well, I did it
Tough choice. Traded the 96 S3 for an 04 KTM 625 SMC. I couldn't watch it sit there, while on the other hand I didn't want to put miles on it. Sounds mad I know. Trade went down on one condition......I get first right of refusal should he decide to sell in the future. Here are the pics.

Makes no sense, trading a beautiful Speed Triple for an ugly motard styled bike.
