So... when are they going to tell us, like, you know, when we're going to get it and how much it will cost, and all that fun stuff?

Hum... talk is cheap, but it looks like $8000-$9000 for a street version

So what do you think the max distance these things can do on the highway should be? I only need like 10-15 miles...

Aprilia's Yurop campaigns rock.

End of story.


8K... I'd rock that for something that fun.

Safe at anywhere I've worked!

100 miles is sweet, I've always wanted to buy something new.

That thing's going to need a lot of HP if its going to outrun the KTM950 SM. Of course, the KTM costs like $13k

So is this just the SXV with the street legal bits?

KTM's got a comparable 'tard though; don't they?

I might rather have one of these (or a Pegaso), though... something about getting 23mpg on a bike (the SuperDuke) I think would really irritate me.

Well the only street legal supermoto KTM makes is the 950 Supermoto. It has a v-twin pushing about 98 hp.

The other KTM supermotos are the 450 and 560 but they're both race bikes. I wanna say there's another one in there somewhere but I don't have my copy of Supermoto Racer in front of me...
