KTM's GP Bike...

They believe a "twin" is the anwser [Ducati said a twin "wont" work] :

Not a bad effort from a dirt-bike co.

The exhaust exit is neat all the same

What the hell have you been sniffing today?

KTM didn't build a GP bike. They built a V4 MotoGP engine currently
being tested by Team KR.

The photo you've linked to is of their prototype road-going V-twin
superbike.

Note the mirrors, headlight and indicators?

KTM aren't going to run their own bike. They're suppling Proton with a V5
engine instead. Read that in AMCN

V4

supplying <delighted to be pedantric>

 

I will be more interested in the BMW triple if the reports are true. Maybe
we will finally see a competitive GP bike with proper front suspension
instead of the "suss"pension currently available.

Yeah, nobody's run a funny front end in a premier class since Elf and
Britten

"So far Howard's luck has survived a great deal: his move to dismiss
broken election pledges by distinguishing between "core" and "non-core"
promises; his retrospectively time-limited "never ever" pledge on the
goods and services tax; his vagueness about when he committed Australia
to war against Iraq; his shifting standards for ministerial conduct; his
demonising of asylum seekers as child killers; his tendency to blame
"advice" rather than to openly accept responsibility when things go wrong."
Will Howard's luck survive another election ? Do Australians not care
that their PM is a liar ?

I wouldn't call US Battle-of-the-twins or IOM TTF1 exactly "premier"
classes for the Britten either!

Pedantic clemopaedia !

That would be a Clemopædia.

All hail Nev; king of the pedants!

if only it could have been in the dictionary thread...

Nev..

That would be a comma, not a semicolon, Clem

 

There should be a fullstop at the end of your
sentence, period.

I thought not. Your shameless neglect of full stops gave it away.


BTH.

 

I suppose racers *do* prefer some flexibility in their engines...

It's called torsional rigidity

Up ya with a rubric!
