damn, that is one cool vid. bike is looking PIMMMMPP, although i don't really like the tail jutting up like that -- it's so freaking short.

still badass though -- more V-twins, MORE V-TWINS!!!

Are they actually going to release that one? I've been waiting for probably 3 years now to see the RC8 go into production. I WANT ONE!

[Evil_Weasel]

great, now i've got to walk around all day with jizzed up boxers. thanks for that.

now the real question is...are they finally going to get around to releasing it??

[Crash Dummy Denno]

sweet looking exhaust!

Time to step up to the plate. It's legal for WSB!

Man, I think that bike is ugly.
Way too angular and not integrated.
Looks like a bad anime drawing.

But that's just my 2 cents.

[Paul_E_D]

The 80s design cues are back in style. let's hope it doesn't last long...

That bike, however, has something going for it. It looks great in race trim (someone posted it elsewhere) and it is unique.

It kinda reminds me of the first Katana, which is a classic by all accounts (ugly or not).

I think they shifted too much R&D over to the X-bow project and this got sidelined... Up until recently there wasn't even any info on KTM's website.
I'm very glad to see it's back.

I dig the white, more upright streetfighterish version, too




but from some angles it's just straight up weird lookin.

[CMG241]

I'm going to ride mine like this..

[sanfelice]

yeah, ugly. "sharp" is appropriate here.

[CEO]

That thing looks mean as shit. However, from the front it looks like complete ass. That headlight looks like a SF headlight, and is reminiscent of the BKing headlight or the one they're throwing on the new honda CB1000.... aka it sucks ballzinis. Otherwise, looks sick.

[Paul_E_D]

Katana!

[KillBill]

That's a sexy beast

[CMG241]

Huh, Suzuki might have a claim here... and they stole Buell's exhaust!
