It's pretty bloody triangular and pointy, looks kinda like the new Buell to me too.
I'll hang onto the current plan of a Gixxer for the road toy for now.

I guessed $28k due to how much more expensive a Super Duke is than a similarish Jap machine. Still undershot it.

Whew, good they wont come out until next March, means our current bikes will be really really old by then. Wonder if it will be an early birthday present for me? :whistle: Standard conversation has been had. Got the "we need one" phone call last night (Im away pootling on the 14 atm), as usual I agreed, damn thats going to look great in our garage, now to ask the bank man how we can squeeze it between the 14 and the SD-R in our garage ;)

Ha. Cheeky KTM buggers even used a similar soundtrack to Buell's 1125 release vid.
I do like the look of that tail section. If it's $30k for race rep. euro made bike, then that's pretty bloody good value.
Does it come with heated grips and a centre stand? ..and hard luggage?

Looking at the official aftermarket KTM gear available for SuperDuke I would'nt be that suprised:lol:

I like it!!! Have no idea what its gonna cost here in the States but I reckon it will be $$$$$.
The only thing I dont like is the front end. Kinda looks like the design inspiration was the back end of a shovel with a flashlight taped in the middle of it.
Other then that its hotness.

I didnt realise the RC8 was a 1200cc V-Twin, did I hear that right?
Will have to wait another year (I think but dont quote me on that) until we look at gracing one in our garage, but it will happen, at some stage :Punk:
