Mate has current one. Apparently this one has some issues with fluids spilling out at certain lean angle and a few others.

Looks like fun though.

Enjoy!  One of its wee brothers is on my shopping list.

Looks the mutts and I'm sure it is a fantastic machine.

Significantly faster than you.....

Ruggedly handsome....hefty price tag...having test ridden the S1000r 160bhp is wasted on a naked...I'm guessing the KTM will be the same with the 180 odds a standard...benefits may be the low down torque of the twin will transfer well to road riding...quality looking bit of kit all said.

Someone at work has bought one - the bike actually looks better in the flesh. I'm tempted to be honest............

I would love one but couldn't justify that kind of money on a toy.

finally got my test ride yesterday

was a very nice bike, brakes are incredible, handles great too
needs to be in sports mode though with TC turned off otherwise far to gutless
also far to quiet with std can
been while since i rode a v twin, so was a massive change from riding the blade, although sure i would get used to it
first nekid bike i have tried, lack of fairing was very noticeable and would certainly slow me down, just not sure i want to be slowed down yet though  :moto:
main issue was local dealer they didn't have any orange bikes and might have been december
so would have to go further afield to find one
