I don't know why people are so surprised about KTM making kick-ass sport bikes/street bikes. They have been making smallbore GP bikes for the longest.

What goes around, comes around. People are surprised about the aprilia RXV dirt bikes. The first Aprilias were dirt bikes.

It maybe rare, but it's weak. It couldn't keep up with the regular MV Agusta F4 and the 999S on the track, same rider.

One of these days the Japs are going to realize that it takes more than just an overpowered engine and fancy bolt-ons to make a performance bike.

How much are the MV and 999S?
