And this one. I thought it was crazy when I was in 4th gear doing 75-80 and grabbed a hand full of throttle with the traction control on and the front end came right up. Simply Amazing. I can't get over the raw power this bike has. The more I ride this bike the more I understand why ktm call this bike the Beast and why they needed the wheelie control on most of the time.

Yeap. I was getting front wheel lift at 186kmph on Sunday. Bike is an animal and I love it.

I love the speedo - first time I've gone over 200 down the straight at our track

Good to see Beavis and Butthead found employment as motorcycle testers.

Dunno about the 1290, but the speedo of the 990 is really realistic ! Well, my GPS gives me the same values (to within about 2-3 km/h).
