i just cannot get past the looks of it. i loved the last version and this just does nothing for me. i so hope the new SD doesnt follow this dumbing down trend. from what i remember KTM used a 3rd party design house, Kirsta or something like that. maybe they lost the contract with them, they designed the look of the SD and the RC8.
They say 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder' but you have to wonder who's eye is beholding the beauty of this bike?

Fugly!
I'm sure the "after market " will fix up the looks for those who need "the latest and greatest",,,,,,it does appeare that you sit more "in" the thing than on top of it like the older model,,,like old model better , in the looks department,,,the new SD promises to be dull too,,,not in the motor ,,,,but the looks I'm sure, will rival this,,,,,sooooo,,,, I'm glad I bought what I did,,,,
I'm going against popular opinion..I like it..!!!
Sorry, I think it heinous (to look at). Same mill in SMC or EnduroR - ? Either of those are more appealing. Besides, if you have a SD, a Duke is kind of pointless.
I don't really care for the look, but I guess the bike is maybe more universal now..?

I like it and it was in its element on that road. This is where I would spend endless hours if I could. There are lots of roads that you need a sharpened pencil on and less is always more in that environment.
That bike would fit my fancy just fine. Caliente Bodfish and Breckenridge, here I come.
Bambi had a friend named Thumper, they galavanted through the foothills. If I had a Thumper friend like that, I would be chasing Bambi till I killt him.
Well it seems to me that you just cant have it both ways! Either the bike looks fantastic with crap fuelling or it looks crap with fantastic fuelling?
