    Awesome bike. Good first try by KTM

    Also Aprilia first try at dirtbikes seems to be a success

    I think the suspension setup on them makes them handle in some ways similar to a motad's..... right? wrong?

    won't mind a test ride... just dono where to find the $$$ for it thou. think they are around the 24k mark!

    Isn't the Duke a bit underpowered? Think it's only 138hp for a litre bike

    Also, that Aprilia MX bike is a VTwin!

    That'll be awesome. Hopefully it'll make the other companies do the same and make Litre Motards!

    Its got full WP suspension (which is competition for Ohlins) hence it handles so well...
