Oooh! Look at that! Pre-e-ety. !
I see hints of original KTM Superduk in the profile, but certainly less clumsy.
That’s nice.

Re: Paging Chris ..... R1250R
OOOOOoooohhh! so exciting 143n/m, nice colours too. I was hoping for this. so new I can not configure one!
So will my panniers , frames , top box, tank bag, nav 5 fit ?
What happened to the little clock protector shield?

Re: Paging Chris ..... R1250R
Ugly is trending john, look at the ktm headlamps for ugly. Lower headlamps give the front an uncluttered more naked look suited to roadsters and their hipster riders.SP250 wrote:God thats ugly - why do modern designers persist in mounting the headlampo about 12" lower than where it should be????????

Re: Paging Chris ..... R1250R
Ah
Thanks for the explanation Chris - I'll just ride my own road, different from the crowd, not trending and I don't do fashion!
Hipster - wern't they low waist cut jeans for women in the late 60's, early 70's?
Yep and those KTM headlamps look like a baboon's a*se too.

Re: Paging Chris ..... R1250R
I think that MV Augusta Brutale was the first with that ‘droopy-eye’ headlight look?
Not sure I would dive in to the unproven (on Boxers) variable cam timing. Give it a year or so.

I am inclined to agree with that philosophy but as far as boxers go and vari cams it may not be new tech.Blackal wrote:

It started badly, it tailed off a little in the middle and the less said about the end the better, but apart from that it was excellent.
