i do like the look of it ..not everyone does ..im sure it will be good

my main concern with these high power enduro type bikes is tyre wear i can kill a enduro tyre on me 450 in 900 miles ...mikes ktm 950 se can kill one in 500 miles . so i have real resevations about how i could make it work ..
with apotential top speed of 125/30mph and cruising speed of 80/90 and109bhp on tap i just cant see what tyre i could use .... if phil in france can kill a anakee wild on a 35bhp donk in 2000 miles it doesnt bode well for the big ktm
i would guess the mefo / henkau k60 class would be the only options to actually get anywhere and they are severly limiting on anything remotly wet or slippy ...
on the flip side i guess if you buy the big ktm tyre wear may not be your main concern ... :twisted:

does look good
whats the wether forcast ..wheres me map

I know that's a prototype but I wonder if the same front brake calipers will be used on the finished item, thay look like total overkill for a bike that size :shock:
