Hope their hydro cam chain tensioner works better than the batch KTM used on their thumpers...

Very cool article! [thumbsup]

A very nice and trusting friend of mine let me ride his RSV4 Factory at Miller a couple of weekends ago (since my 749 is broke). What a fan-friggin-tastic bike and motor!! Handles similar to a Japanese 600, with power everywhere...and tons of it. [bow_down] Plus, the sound... [drool] If I was looking for a litre bike it would be an RSV4 without a doubt.

Obligatory picture of me trying not to wad it:

I really really want to try out this bike but I dont know a single person who has one. :(

But yes... that sound is just amazing.
