A KTM? No, close your eyes!

I’d say that’s an improvement for KTM, personally I think it looks quite good. And it certainly shows what Norton are up against with their naked 1200.

And at least the KTM has handlebars…!
 
Kind of looks like a motorcycling version of the Paris Pompidou Centre with with some Lego Tecnic bits glued on and sprayed black. The only good point is the round headlight. Obviously there was a mistake with the order of the seat colour so they had to use it for the photo shoot.

We're into the area of art where the name and reputation goes beyond the value or technical merits. At least the Aston Martin bike has some visual appeal as part of your climate controlled investment portfolio. Was a bit tempted with the AM but think the fact that it is track only would limit the appeal. And its French.
 
I’m amazed that you lot ever bought the rolling artwork that is the Norton 961, as you clearly have such shockingly poor taste:rolleyes:! The Brabus looks pretty bloody sharp to me, as do the always amazingly awesome KTM range!! Ok, I may be a little biased. And no, I don’t think that my bike looks like the worlds ugliest Praying Mantis! Oh, I’ve just realised that I’ve ‘put my baby in a corner’! Patrick would’nt be happy with that!

Very capable adventure bike that KTM, but the front end looks like it was hit with an ugly stick over and over again. IMO
Lovely Norton though.

Defintely the way to go for bikes in small spaces Clive, letting me manouver three bikes around in one half of the garage in a safe way - cos nobody has ever dropped their bike in the garage have they:rolleyes:? Could be even better if developed to enable rotation of the front wheel also, it’s currently just a rolling cradle. Expensive, but well worth the outlay for me. And they come in KTM orange! Yeh sad, I know!

How dare you Italia, you are completely wrong IMO! It was clearly only hit with the ugly stick once, just really hard, and then the stick broke! Awesome adventure bike though!

Yes - when I saw these before I discovered that it is possible to buy these rolling wheels separately so a retro-fit or custom cradle may be poss.
