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

Hehehehehehehe!!!!!! Woman...you get the lollies when you get home

Any takers as to when the 'R' version's gonna come out? Lots of carbon-fibre goodness and some even more trick WP bling.

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

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.

That and an expense account.

Austria produced Arnald Swart^$%##(, so must be discounted for thier motorcycles.

I do know however, where TWO 848 Ducatis will be arriving, before they are meant to be in shops if anyone is interested.

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
