KTM models for 2010

[Travman]

KTM models for 2010.  News of these bikes has been out for at least a year, but they are just now being confirmed coming to the U.S. as 2010 models this fall.

I generally find KTM's bikes to be too angular for my tastes, but I may be warming up to their style.  If I wanted an all purpose bike this could be it.  Throw some bags on it and head out for the weekend.

RC8R!
SuperDuke! (return of)
990 SMR!

Yay!

Glad to see that they are bringing the 990 SMT this way, but I REALLY wish they would bring back the 690 Supermoto.

Exactly.  I don't want/like the SMC.  I want the 690 Supermoto (R).

Holy shit, that is an ugly bike.  It is so ugly it may be attractive in some strange way which is foreign to me.  If they aren't bringing it over this year maybe it is to clear out last year's inventory.  That is what happened to the Super Duke for 2009.

They get less ugly after you ride one.

I hated the 950sm until I demo'd one.  It was the most fun I've ever had on a bike.

I ended up getting a 950SMR 2 years later, and it's awesome.  I got the 690sm windscreen on it, and $500 into a bag/rack system and I can go anywhere that's paved.  Make no mistake, these aren't dirt bikes at all, but they crush on the street.

You never were a fan of Spy Vs. Spy were you?  In my line of work it's a fitting appearance.

I've seen 690 Duke in person and sat on it.  It definitely felt lighter than any other street bike I've sat on.  I thought it looked attractive in white.

I've been thinking of some smartass thing to say, but your right, she's pretty damn attractive.

i would prefer the 640, but will take a 900 if anyone wants to give it to me
