Seems to be if I listened well, the KTM is far to powerful for the front of the bike...........so what would be the use for all that power if it cannot be used, I guess for the likes of Nutty to say he has a fast bike...............

I will stick with my slow 95bhp Africa twin as I'm done worrying about how fast I can go!! I'll get my coat!!

I keep trying to ride slower to keep my license, bloody radars keep popping up everywhere, now bloody little drones buzzing over me head.
Ha, that old excuse
I could loose my licence on my MZ..............
Best buy a Tomos old man

I knew this thread would expose their insecurities, and get them all riled!
And the average speed on your steed is.............excluding track stuff....
Truly slayed...
17% more power and only 3% quicker - is that what you'd expect on track, or is the KTM not able to use all of the power advantage?
Me, who's never ridden on a track is curious as to why the small gap - or what appears to be, on a 2 minute+ lap.
So nutty thinks third place is first place
Thought spin was only in politics to influence the masses
Seems like the KTM boys are a bit blinded by the bright orange frame.
So easy
I use all that power to scare myself shitless, it’s addictive [1]

[1] .....and mine’s only an1190, admittedly highly tuned though,
But the KTM comes an absolute first as the ugliest bike of the trio. Jesus ! what an ugly front end.
I didn't know there was a beauty competition for bikes.
Anyway, all well and good but what does the track performance mean for me? Very few of us ever use 10/10s of the capability of the bike and a track comparison of traily bikes is about as useful as wooden tits.
And the only traily type bikes that ever lifted a wheel when overtaking a car was a KTM 1190 and 1290 SA-T. Never ridden the Duc because it looks utterly uncomfortable to me. So the more power it has the more exiting it can be. The BMW GS is and will always be a touring bike. It has its own niche and BMW is not in a hp competition with other manufacturers in this class. KTM is and always will be a competition manufacturer, competing, it is in their DNA. The ergonomics are not perfect but the chassis is very good. 2-up = BMW, alone = KTM, excitement = KTM, comfort and ergonomics = BMW, ownership costs and brand experience = well that depends on the owner himself and is as individual as an arse. You pays your money, you make your choice.
