I know it's not our Superduke R. Believe me.. But at least it's a KTM.

We just got back from AFM round 3. Epic battles. Almost never at full grip. Always sliding, pushing, spinning and drifting. Amazing experiences. Our RC8R, still an 09 model, is greatly outgunned by the fastest of the fast in the AFM, but we are clawing our way closer to them. In one section of Thunderhill's back section yesterday, in a short climb up a hill out of a wicked-fast left handed sweeper that you go through nearly full throttle, the inline jockey ahead of us kept spinning his head back to see WTF was behind him. Lap after lap this bulldog kept chasing his heels. We'd lose on the straights and fight back on the brakes. What an epic set of battles.

Here's a few pics from the weekend. What an experience, riding a bike like that. Guess that's what comes when a bike is properly sorted. You can read about it more on our blog if you like.

That's mad. How much is the KTM down on power compared to 4s?
Wish I knew numbers. Put it this way, on a straight about a football field and a half long, IN the draft, we lose four to six bike lengths depending on company. I don't even want to talk about the front straight. It's loooooooooooong and painful.
That won't happen when you get your 2012 GO GO That thing is so fast I thought my 2010 was fast the 2011 kicks its ass
Your going to be passing not getting passed.Once you do all the go fast goodies. Your not going to believe it
It's that fast The 190's is no problem maybe more.I know they got that one kit for it thats like 10g's just lose the wp and do the olins and your gonna be hard to beat bro.
I wish you luck I know your gonna fly by those guys.
