I had the KTM RC8R for 5 years. Wicked bike. No electric aids at all. Looked like a Transformer - apparently. Went like the clappers. They sadly didn’t sell a lot though. And a Superduke 990 before that - a pure hooligans’ bike. Great fun. On the roads obviously.

The ones that find limits of technology hundreds of years before engineers apply it. Battery cars have been around for over a hundred years. Why it is so hyped now is because litterary everyone is simoultaneously throwing a lot of money on it and are fixed on the idea. Having a Master of Science, I think bio fuels is the answer. Same cars, same infrastructure, same behaviour, just another source. In Sweden we are at 30 % bio fuel mix in the diesel already. Battery cars are horrible for the environment with all its waste, not to mention their high weight which wears a lot more on the tires and roads than regular cars. Think about where all the magnets, cobolt, and copper is coming from, and who produces/sells it. Do we want to make them even richer? Do we want to encourage that working environment?

It's KTM, that is said as the 3 letters. It stands for Kronreif (one original owner/partner), Trunkenpolz (the other original partner/owner [and the son of whom is the current c.e.o.]), Mattighoffen {as in the town where it's manufactured, Mattighoffen, Austria.} They've been around for almost a century having begun manufacturing bicycles and wheelchairs. In the 1960's a man by the name of John Penton Sr. headed over to Austria and convinced them to make a better off-road/enduro dirtbike (as opposed to the heavy and w i d e BMW that he did competitive enduro and Six Days Trials on) for world class woods riding. In the U.S.A. it was marketed as Penton. The rest of the world got KTM, although they were identical bikes. This manufacturer is inherently different from ALL other dirtbike companies as what their "factory" racers learn on Sundays at the races/enduros IMMEDIATELY goes into production once it's proven to be an effective change! : )'

Late to the party here but in my neck of the woods in western PA we call them Katooms. :)

I'd love to have that bike! I have miles and miles of dual track just behind my house in SE PA. Unfortunately it's close enough to annoy the neighbors, so electric is ideal for where I live. But at 12k I'll have to settle for the much more modest Talaria Sting.
