    I should be pushing 340-350 now. Anything further than the inter cooler swap and I’d start shoring up the internals.

    Put a refundable deposit down on this pending a test ride on Monday. To replace the gixxer. Maybe

    Butt ugly, but fun, apparently.

    I prefer the black model, but there's a deal on an ex demo orange one so we'll see.

    Have you thought about the difference in maintenance and reliability between a Japanese supersport and an Austrian supersport?

    I have been looking at KTMs for the last 2 years and it's the single thing that's kept me from pulling the trigger. Reliability.

    Will you only keep it during the warranty period?

    Paint it in shades of black, and give it some army-issue panniers to hide that yawning gap between the rear wheel and mudguard.

    Then never clean it.
