V-twin FTMFGDW! But I don't really like the front end look... yet to see one in person though.

Gotcha, I was hoping you had ridden it. I'd like to hear what people think of its performance.

I think the looks are killer...but you have to like square cut corners vs. round.

I heard the performance is OK..not great, but I'd rock one.

supposedly for around 5k there is a motor kit among other things to crank it up to about 170 rwhp the KTM factory claims they have gooten them up to around 195 horse before sacrificing reliability.

Yea...that why I'll never get one. I mean first I have to spend almost $20,000 then you tell me IF I spend another $7000+ (kit plus labor), I'll have a bike that is comparable to a stock GSXR1000? Um, no thanks. I wanted an Aprillia so bad I could taste it but I just couldn't bring myself to pay $6000 more for a less capable bike.

The only person I know that has ridden one is an avid I4 Honda 1000rr rider. He loved it.

true story. At least the new rsv4 is offering an engine configuration unavailable anywhere else for a similar price.
