no idea...

never get far enough to get uncomfortable before it runs out of fuel

the 690 bikes are always going to be better than a race bike in terms of practicality, it won't be a bandit but it has sensible service schedules and by all accounts the vibes are better tamed than the old LC4 engine

i agree with northwind on the RC4, it'll never impress the sunny sunday willy wavers with their matching helmets and leathers, simply because it's "only a single" - but for someone who understands what KTM are going for with it i bet it'll be light with a punchy engine and a hoot on the smaller roads, the suspension isn't likely to be anything other than top notch as KTM own WP and all their bikes are well sprung
