I am in love with the looks of those bikes.... they are fucking gorgeous. Not to mention they appear to be a very strong offering in a market segment KTM is not a veteran in...

They dont have any yet, and I doubt they let me demo it. I'll check, I know the guy that owns the place pretty well.

I've heard KTM is pretty cool about demo's. Atleast our local dealer is.
