I have been blessed in being allowed to test and ride some neat bikes recently in my life. The coolest overall experience has been riding KTM machinery.
I got to personally maintain and ride my very own KTM Super Duke 990. While a bit of a heavy machine and not really well suited in stock form as a track day weapon, I set it up the best I could and did rather well with it in stock form.
Of course, sliding it in sideways off the back straight at Mid-Ohio (top speed on the Duke was around 132-ish) was a LOT of fun. Wore out 5 rear tires in the short time I owned it. Hmmmmm.... Wonder why???
The RC8 was really cool. Got a video appearance and wrote a decent article about my thoughts. Was one of only a handful who got to ride one of the five even in the country at the time. An honor to say the least...
