Default New bikes on the road.

Must the year for big naked bikes after all.
I've seen a few XB12R Buells, a Benelli TNT and the new Monster.
Have yet to see a KTM Super Duke...
Wonder if there's somewhere I could blag a test ride?

They say every KTM road-bike dealership has a demonstrator in... Today i saw only really old bikes... A really ratty Kwak of some sort, a bunch of old scooters, and a fantastic old-school stroker thing that looked like it had survived two world wars...

That's what the bike mags & MCN are saying. It's possibly because superbikes are getting to be too much for road riding and are more expensive to insure.

Big nekkids give you superbike acceleration without the insane top speeds and are, apparently, top fun to ride.
