Funny looking..........but it's a serious performer.
Seating position and feel is typical motard (as you would expect).
Brakes, and suspension (based on my brief ride) are spot-on (again, as you would expect).
Seat is surprising comfortable for a KTM.
Instant throttle response, pulls hard right of idle and is a lot stronger than I remember the 640 to be - right through the rev range.
Didn't get a chance to wind it out - but from what I could tell 160+ would be a doddle.
My Freewind feels and goes like a rice pudding in comparison.
A little abrupt on-and-off the throttle.
Doesn't vibrate as much as the 640 but still noticeable (more than the Freewind).
Hmmm........
