Hey Six you should look at the bikes they are putting out before you say that. The 1290 is 175 hp and got around a track just .5 second behind a BMW S1000R! It's basically a stock gen 2 with wide bars and no fairing. That's with a comfortable seat, all day riding position and saddle bags on the GT! And you'll love that it's a wheelie monster. I'm not here selling KTM's, just seems like a logical direction in this day and age. Beside if they call a truce on the monster bikes now my Gen 2's value will go up!
The 1290 will be my next bike, but still keeping the Busa.
