I think KTM is the bike of the future.....both the LC8 and the twin Duke make me drool.I was eagerly anticipating the Aprillia Blue Marlin but i think KTM done aced them.

Re: Overlooked brands

I agree....the Guzzi V11 and Lemans are rideable sporty bikes with reasonable performance that dont look other bikes on the road.Would love to see a omparo of Guzzi vs the Monster (not the s4) vs the Honda 919.Now that would be different!

Re: Adventure vs. Duke

Jay:they are different bikes..........If you want an all out street fighter you want to wait for the Duke.If you want a nice street weapon with more comfortable ergonomics that can do some light tour duty and unpaved roads(like camping trips in west Virginia or treks through the high desert on unpaved roads),Im hoping the Adventurer fits the bill. Ive gotta do 3hrs on highways to reach my favorite West Virginia back roads.....the LC4 isnt really good for this........but the BMWGS1150 is too heavy for what I do when I get there .Im hoping the LC8 fits the bill betweem these two.
