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!

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.

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.

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.
