That bike is so sweet. Good luck trying to get your hands on one in the states for about a year though. I've heard they are only bringing in a limited number and most of those have deposits on them already.

KTM is doing it right. The Superduke is insane. And the RC8 looks pretty killer. We've got a local KTM dealer...they love to do demo rides. I'ma have to roll out there.

I got to demo a Supeduke last fall. Nice ride.. but not being used to a V-Twin I hit the rev limiter 3 times on a 5 minute ride. The thing was deceptively fast though.

It was pretty flat, it pulled like a Rhino in every gear no matter your RPM.
