And this one. I thought it was crazy when I was in 4th gear doing 75-80 and grabbed a hand full of throttle with the traction control on and the front end came right up. Simply Amazing. I can't get over the raw power this bike has. The more I ride this bike the more I understand why ktm call this bike the Beast and why they needed the wheelie control on most of the time.

I love the speedo - first time I've gone over 200 down the straight at our track

Next time I measure my cock I'm going to use a KTM ruler.

Good to see Beavis and Butthead found employment as motorcycle testers.

Dunno about the 1290, but the speedo of the 990 is really realistic ! Well, my GPS gives me the same values (to within about 2-3 km/h).

I bet they will get more than 1000km out of their rear wheel bearings.....

I shouldn't get like that, but the bike and I aren't talking at the moment
