There is a whole lot of work in the details on the bike that make it world class. I also agree with Buck, I could puke on it overall but there are some amazing details.

I too saw that bike at the Brooklyn Invitational. There were many awesome rides there that trump this one. Many of which were outside the show. I will post up tomorrow.

Lots of folks get a big boner over bikes like this.
But that's all you get, a big boner over a bike you could't ever ride.

Put some bar end mirrors on it, and I could get it registered in my state. Signal lights are not required. License plate can be mounted anywhere as long as it is illuminated.

RSD is kind of running the same trap line as many, many bikes I've seen on BIKEEXIF.  Strip it down, get a 70s vibe tank, low profile seat, and snub up the exhaust, then add clip ons.  It's already become a cliché.

Both this bike and his recent BMW Concept 90 are interesting though.  The details are stronger than the overall bike in both instances.  The wheels for one, are fantastic looking on both.  The BMW in some views is fantastic, stumpy as hell in others.  I'm glad RSD did the KTM, though there's nothing new in the approach.  The (very) limited fork travel worries me, but I do understand it's a show bike.  Odd graphics on the tank (stripes across the cutout??)
