a stupidly over powered cagiva mito that sounds like a winner ... they are the best look 125 ...250 and better than some 600. |

was going to post that pic, then i saw it was 5 megapixel
same here with money/insurance issues @ rc8. Would love to have a razz on one and maybe even own one when I've got my experience/confidence, but the rc4 could be a properly fun toy. Looks smart as feck too

It would be fun, hopefully you won't be paying too much of a premium for it though

Think how a sporty tuned 600 single would sound aswell with a short pipe.
only problem ...wouldnt it need stupid amounts of maintainance due to the big single and being so sporty ?? |

It's not a 2 stroke, so you won't be doing top end rebuilds every 10 minutes. I think I read that KTM have engines that have run for over 100k miles, I think one of them was a single, one was an RC8, might be mistaken hough.

It seems that somebody else already dreamed up such a bike before the manufacturers. Oh sorry about the large pic I'm removing it and replacing by a link. Sorry!
Well here goes... ![]() When asked what they want in a motorcycle, some might say narrow, lightweight, great handling single cylinder with plenty of power. That was Kim Kronslev’s idea. He looked around, didn’t find what he wanted so he designed it and built one, based around the KTM 640 LC4. Although Kim began with the intention of making a road legal bike, his direction changed during the course of the project and what you see is a track only special. There’s not yet much detail from Kim as far as specs go but he started by making CAD drawings of what he had in mind and finished with a track bike. It looks very minimal and super light. Kim used the tried and true formula: idea + skill + work = real bike. Some really nice motorcycles get their start this way. Once you have something to work with, you can refine it until it’s exactly what you want. I like it. ![]() http://www.kronslev.net/Pictures/Pictures.html Last edited by zunkus; 15-10-08 at 08:13 PM. |
