i especially like the kawa, and how you can change riding positions depending on how you feel like riding on any particular day.

I like that KTM streetfighter concept. The 1/4 (1/8?) fairing is pretty ugly, but the gas tank is just so "mean" looking!

The only bike there that I like really, is the KTM Duke 990. I love those things. The others just dont do it for me. Nothing too intresting IMO. :cheers:

Those bikes look like something straight out of "Akira". Like Kineada's bike.

Nah, you picked the wrong bike... Try the Suzuki G-Strider! 8)

Put that in red, and you have something similar to Kaneda's bike. Sit low on the frame, grips in the higher position, front swingarm... I wonder how a bike like this would handle in the turns?

oh, with that bike in JohnLA's post... where do you put your feet? :?

Good question about the pegs.
I think your right. It is closer to Tetsuo.

I agree, did you all see that the KTM had fuel injection on a V-Twin engine. Drool
