No worries mate.
It does sound really good also i read a right up in a bike mag and they thought it was fantastic.
KTM sound like they are really getting their act together they have the new 1290 Super Duke coming out next year plus a 390 sports bike and it's real light.
I think for me it's great having heaps of power and going fast but riding a motorcycle on the street for me is more about just living the dream and injoying the ride and the scenery instead of it being a blur lol!
I had a ride about 2 months ago on a Guzzi V7 Racer now this bike is no racer but...
Its funny how we think about having the latest and greatest bike.
Ive owned a 05 R1, 06 Gixxer thou and even a slightly mod Hayabusa.
And yes FZ1, Speed triple now Super duke come to think of it I have owned over 20 bikes LOL!!

Mate 40 years ago when I was 16 I saw two dudes killed in a moto crash a car turned in front of them.
At the time it was sickening for me to see and to this day if I think about it hard enough I can still see it and feel the cold weather of that night.

The support didn't even have a red flag or any type of warning on it.
The police report said that the motorcyclist was...
When ever I go for a ride I always take the road with bends over just going in a straight line I even take the long way to and from work just so I can go through the bends..
I used to own a gen one busa and it was a great bike the only down side is that the foot pegs are to high and make a long trip a bit cramped but if you fit a set of buel foot pegs its heaps better.
Also the reach to the bars is a bit of a pain I think that the fuel tank needs to be at least 2...
Your better off just keeping the bike you have.
I have had sport bikes and a Hayabausa and other crap and it always seems like I would like another bike LOL!!
If I was you and getting a new bike I would get the Tuono v4 as its lighter than a big Kawasuki and handles great! You don't want a big...
The problem with sport bikes is that you just cant help riding fast its just the fact that you are in a head down bum up position that feels natural for going fast but in the real world its a killer on long rides.
The thing I think of is when you own a sports bike is that you actually have a...
My Nephew had a 1098s and every thing with it was expensive.
The timing belts are not cheap and a hassle to replace at 15000miles.
Also the engine used to cut out sometimes when at idle?
