Yes, one of about 78 bikes that KTM sold to private parties, the other 22 or so went to misc. race teams in the US. They only brought them into the US in '08.

Here's an old video where that I was hanging back in an attempt to film my buddy in the orange suit.......that's when I leaned that 6' from the guy in front of you looks like a mile with a go pro camera.

Wow, cool stuiff. KTM is awesome stuff, I have a dirt bike, but always loved these bikes also.

According to another post the car has a 572 with a procharger, I raced a Yamaha V-max in my 09 viper punched it about 60 and about 120 he had so many car lengths on me I could not count them. I had to re evaluate my definition of fast.:gitrdun:

You're correct, Chris. It's been a number of years since I have had an SV so I forgot to even look for the hydraulic clutch.

Travis, the V-max is a very fast bike in a straight line. They are very unassuming since they look like cruisers but they move out as fast as inline four sport bikes. I'm not surprised you had issues against one.

Dollar for dollar for a serious adrenaline pump that is why I have a bike. :D

Power to weight baby! Anybody know what bike that was/is?

No hazard lights so the bike caught up :lol:







+1. Like how the '57 was sideways for a bit.

Nice riding Sieg!

Looks like fun... I've always admired the guys that road raced bikes... no margin for error on a bike :thumbsup:

Notice the T-Hill carnage on the left side of the rear Michelin slick.
