Yyyyyyyyeah....but the Ugly argument no longer applies now that V4 Multi looks like back end of bus. I do hate the KTM colours though. Fuckin orange and silver. There’s ONE barely tolerable mostly black with orange flashes. BARELY! Oh yeah..and never buy new KTM. Bless ‘em and all, but depreciation is worse than a rusty Lancia.
26k is my starting bid/guess as to the cost. Be interesting to see what the wet weight will be compared to S spec V4 Mutley.
True, but if it’s Iron Age Ohlins then that’s lighter than auto sussers. So all things considered probably about a kilo different
That’s a very single sided looking swingarm on that bike. I’m starting to have high hopes for this one.
Hear we go... Handling : Check Looks : TBD Power bump : TBD Get all three and you can take my money PS - A slightly bigger tank wouldn't go a miss.
I’m keeping an open mind that it’ll look a lot better. I saw a V4 the other day, got along side it in the car for a while and was really underwhelmed by the looks.
Most new models take a while to creep into your brain, to become accetable takes time. I have to say it looks heavy, whether it rides well is to be seen, they don't always get it right.
I don't think its ugly. Its quite purposeful in its looks but if buyers want 'pretty' they should be buying a Panigale or a 916.
I really hope they change the name this time. It has no connection with Pikes Peak nor will it ever have. The Streetfighter had become the PP bike anyway.
