It's just the motard style, off roaders like more weight on the front wheel, and proper motards are 'crossers with slicks basically.

I want another CR500 to give that treatment to. Heheh

It is meant to be an animal of a bike, not really suitable for daily commuting according to the reviews that I have read, maybe the standard would be a better bet, still a fantastic handling & powerful bike, just more suitable for using on the road as opposed to the track.

You've gotta love KTM's marketing, explains why you don't see bike ads on TV though...

Yes, I've yet to see a bad KTM advert. The moral majority would cry like girls if they saw one.

Agreed The RC8 one gives me shivers down my spine, love the bit where it freezes and does a quick Matrix stlye pan around the bike
