Oh crap. That makes my 07 950SM look like a Vespa. Time to rotate the inventory?

They appear to have just unpacked on in Chiang Mai KTM..

1,389,900 THB.

Even if you accept the fact that imports run about double US MSRP, that's at least 300K more than it should be (using the 16K-17K estimate- it will be announced at the Long Beach show in December)- it's a great bike, but KTM is kidding themselves with their pricing structure- it's a shame.

I like it.. Just raw naked nasty look...

My old blade probably pushes out something in the 130 up range and when 3rd gets onto those hotcams, and its trying to lift the front or spin at over 140 kph its scary.. God only knows what a modern 180 bhp monster must feel like.. Thats another half as much grunt again !! Traction control a must I am guessing !!
