I love it. If I didn't already own a 690 I'd be in for one.

Yeah, I know about that one.
It's nice and all but it requires a good low side to make it a street fighter.   Tongue

if that KTM makes it here I'm buying one.  I could skip traffic lights by riding the sidewalk and over people's yard.  Evil

I guess  boo is a little too strong but I like the styling of the Honda better. The paint scheme of the KTM is ulgy IMO. Gloss black would rock. True that it would be a blast to ride, especially for a beginner.

If they really do bring the 250-300cc ktm to the USA I will be looking at them pretty seriously. I like to buy used to get a better price, so it will be a while before that happens for me, but I wouldn't mind a small displacement really light bike to flick around. Plus I can use the excuse that it is for my wife to learn on, and we all know that means I will ride it more than her, hehehe. I'd love to thrash a tiny KTM through the canyons and country roads around here. I also commute every day and would love to have a few choices. Of course that means a larger garage, more tools, maybe a lift . . .
