I love the look of everything but the front fairing... if they changed the way it looks it'd be perfect! I like how clean the tail is... and the buell(ish) exhaust

:iagree:

Lovin the looks of that RC8

I'm the opposite (tho i generally ride a Vtwin)
Rode a buddies GSXR600 and was constantly short shifting. until i remembered to LOOK at the tach. :no:

thing looks like it was built for a low quality video game, what with all the polygons.

The Eye-ties ain't the only ones who know a thing or two about V-twin. Ride Big Orange:rockwoot:

I've said it several times before, you simply cannot go wrong with Big Orange. KTM has proven in the past that if they want to compete, and eventually dominate a market they can. The jap companies better be looking over their shoulder if KTM decides they want a bigger segment of the street scene. I can't wait to see how the US journalists review the bike. My guess is that they won't like it because it departs from the cookie cutter japanese mold.
