Holy cr@p!!! That's some decent engineering by the KTM bods!

I guess the beemer driver expected the bike to just hover and float over his/her car. Pity the driver will have been late for their highly important business meeting :(

Seen a YZF125 buried in an escort exactly the same way before.....very strange site seing a bike stood up with noone on it.


Plus going on the profile of the rear of the car and size comparison compared to the passat it looks like a 1 Series BMW?

you raise a good point, maybe its just because the front it up so high it looks like an x3

editttttt; Ch00 is absolutely right it's totally different to an X3 :D
Still, considering the 'monsterous' engine is in the front, the KTM did veeeeery well :p

At least with proof like that, there's no way the beemer driver can dispute liability:smt019

The rider was pretty lucky not to have been shunted into the other lane.....

Thats a BMW 1 series not a X3. Should be a nice quick claim !!!
