If they are as so powerful as you say, and that is certainly a fact, why do they need more power adding, if the power is really added......
You ride a WMB so just wouldn't 'get it'

PS ........and feck off with your sideways digs at Hilltop, let it go, you're turning into that wanker Engineer
You're getting this thread confused with all the Hilltop threads you're posting on, the discussion here is why would you want all the power that a KTM has, not how to tune one ............ and on the basis tanneman has, IMHO, answered the question perfectly

Smogbob. A BMW wraps you in comfort and gives you a sense of control the minute the wheels starts turning. That is what it is good at and probably why many owners buy the GS because of its easy confidence inspiring nature. The KTM on the other hand won't be so forgiven. It is a bike that demands more concentration, more input to get the rewards of riding it. Think of it this way. One is like foreplay, the other one you bitch slap to get it going. A bit extreme in explanation but I hope you would understand the difference in the make up of the bikes. The KTM is also way lighter than the BMW and once the revs go north the difference is most notable. The way the BMW boxer produces torque at low rpm flatters the rider and makes this a good bike for low speed turns in the Alps with the kitchen sink loaded. The suspension on the KTM is a bit sharper, more reactive and more feel than the BMW with telelever but as far as brakes go there is not much difference. More squeeze required on the KTM as it doesn't link the front and rear brakes like the beemer but equally effective. Not much in it between the bikes but massive difference in feel. You either like an orange frame or prefer the Moto Guzzi saggy tits look
Valid point would the Orange mothership dare real offroad, get ready for a video...............
