Wow! That thing is unreal! Although its kinda odd/ugly looking I think it could grow on me. Why the heck isn't it available in North America?!?! Thats not fair.

Is it painfull?
Can it be surgically removed?
I sure hope one doesn't grow on me.

Those KTM guys dont make anything normal looking but maybe that is the draw.

The RC8 is being released in Europe first and so is the new HD XR1200. It drives me nuts that in this day and age that Europe gets all the beautiful cool cars and bikes and we are stuck with the same old boxes here in NA.

They have a cream for that at the Harley/Ducati/BMW stores. But they're just treatments. The cure is at www.triumph.co.uk.

It's not painful yet, it hasn't started growin yet.

As long as it can fully form I don't want it surgically removed.

Seems like an excellent bike but I must say the front fairing looks crudely put together but I could get used to it.

Ride on !

I don't mind the angular looks, & think it could look awesome in the right colour. It's the colour I've got the biggest issue with. I absolutely loath KTM orange, & it's ruined many a fine motorcyle IMO. I don't mind this bike in white, but we're only getting the orange one in OZ. & I think it'd look best in black or dark green or blue.
Mind you, if they were giving them away (or I could get one from a growth) I wouldn't mind if it was shocking pink with flowers & rainbows on it. Though it wouldn't stay that colour for long.

I'd think silver would be best. But even then it would take some getting used to. Of course, nothing matters more than the view from behind the bars and the feeling in the pit of your stomach!
