Comrades: My understanding was that they are taking the view that anything over 200hp won't be produced for the road. BUT never say never especially if their client base has suddenly dropped off.

Bet their thinking 190RWHP for the road,,,,,,,,so there will be a bunch of 1290's for sale when they launch the next beast,,,have to think the motor shown here will not differ all that much from the new race bike as the investment has already been made,,,,just an evolved version,,,,,good news for KTM and all the R+D that will follow,,,,to add to this,,,the last time it was used by KR the thing was in its infancy,,,THEY RAN OUT OF MONEY to persue it further with any development,,,,why in the world KR be pissed at this new endevor ? he didn't have the bucks either,,,,,,,,,,,,
