Me wanty, I wonder how long it'd take to pay for itself with petrol at £1.20 a litre doing 150 miles a week...

A bit pricey, but they look light and nimble.

How expensive will they be to keep?

1,5 hour is enough for the SM trackdays

there a few companys already out there that sell them.....if they are anything like their mx bikes they will fall to bits or self destruct,only ktm i've ridden and was reliable and liked was the 525 the 300 i had water pump self destructed and a mates 250 sx frame cracked....lol thats why i only ride honda's and yam's now when i ride mx...

Im sorry but part of the fun 4 me with bikes (and high HP cars) is the noise, the vibrations, the smell! the fact i have to fill it with strong smelling liquid( petrol) and check/change the oil and get my hands dirty!!! Its a sensory experience as well as adrenaline!

What fookin fun is a vehicle with 2 wheels that duznt do any of the above???

Imagine bein on ya favourite machine hitting ya favourite track (either dirt or tarmac), same speeds, same lean angles/gradients/jumps but with no noise!?!? only thing you hear is a faint wine an wind noise!

OK, it will do me fine in my metal box that i do 30K of borin road miles a year in, but for my kicks an fun it just aint gonna cut it! KTM or no KTM
