The KTM that is pictured is a prototype...I'm guessing that a production model would weigh about the same as the SF, cost a bit less and pack a bigger punch... |

I don't think they went in the right direction. Have to check the specs but there might not be much horsepower diff and might be less torque. |

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

I bet KTM will have a hit here and this bike will put them on the street bike map. I'll wager that the entire US allotment will be sold out before the bike lands here. |

It appears Ducati decided to release the 1199R. According to a British journal "expect it to cost £30,000. And probably, ultimately, half of everything you own." Only a current or previous Ducati owner would appreciate their humor! http://www.ducati.com/bikes/superbike/1199_panigale_r/index.do |

It was a big hit here in the shop last night & Chris is already hooked and trying to figure out how he can get one when they come out.  |

The new bike gains 10 extra horsepower at the crank but gives up 10 ft lbs of torque. So go figure. The new bike is also listed at 385 lbs dry weight as opposed to 394 dry for the current Hyper. Well that's dry so you have to add in coolant. Big deal. It'd be pretty much of a wash. They claim longer service intervals but then you are servicing a Testastetta engine as opposed to a Desmodue. There, I did some homework.  All in all, I think I'd prefer the current model just for simplicity.  Damn! Grabbed the wrong quote.... ....but you know what I'm refering to. |

Who wants to go down to South Seas and Montgomery Cycles to see what, if any, current sport bikes (other than the R1 and the Panigale/848SE) have metal tanks?

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.
