You dont remember mine from the west coast DIMBY?

This guy took off full throttle and I didn't have a helmet on to muffle the sound.  Looked different from your bike though?  I must be confused on the model then?

Spotted a 690 in matte black & Kawi green in Newport yesterday.  I hadn't heard one yet though.  Damn..those Akrapovics sound evil!!

He probably walked right underneath and didn't notice it

Hell Yeah!!

Hope they keep the prototype paint job. All it needs is an after market exhaust and your all set.

For that KTM not being a fully-faired bike, pretty impressive to be running with an S1000RR like it is in that video.

The guy on the Beemer was holding way back.

+1  and then some

The guy on the Beemer was holding way back.

not sure how back he was holding in reality...he was to a degree for sure, but there is something to be said for how much grunt and handling those Katooms really do have.

On the straights the Beemer should have flown by. The S1000RR is arguably the best street superbike on the market. The only way for the Duke to be able to even keep up would have been rider experience.
