Did you ever daydream about building the ultimate dirt bike?  Think of the possibilities: a custom-built chrome-moly steel frame, maybe painted bright Chinese red, forks with 12 in of travel and 40mm stanchion tubes, Fox Twin-Clicker single shock, aluminium swing arm, giant-killer 495 engine with eight-petal reed and five-speed transmission, Metzeler tyres, chrome-moly bars, maybe use white plastic tank and fenders to show off the red frame, folding shift lever and Magura hand levers - all the good stuff.  What a machine it would be.

Well, you don't have to dream any longer, and you don't have to spend four or five thousand dollars and six months of nights and weekends building one either.  This dream machine is a production KTM 495 motocrosser.
