Hey all,

(It's probably been posted everywhere and I'm just too slow this morning...)

The new model from KTM:

It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

Missed that but saw they cleaned up in the Dakar bikes. :smt001
KTM’s Marc Coma cleaned up in the bike category; the Spaniard cliching his second Dakar Rally title. With almost an hour and a half lead over second place man, Cyril Despres, Coma cruised through the final special stage and roared across the finish line in an easy sixth. The stage victory went to Portugual’s Helder Rodrigues, with Pal Anders Ullevalseter right behind him in third. And while David Fretigne may have ended this relatively simple stage a lowly fourteenth, the Frenchman managed to grab third in the overall bike standings – an impressive feat considering his Yamaha was only a 450cc.
