More Yam Fazer than Multi. KTM 1290 SA is looking more attractive.

For me, it looks ok, but, well, err y`know, it ain`t got soul and just maybe that is because it has got a silky smooth 4 sportsbike engine instead of a lumpy- rorty- talkee job.

I must admit - it has a slight "Crosstourer" look about it. :shock:

Defo worth an extended test-ride, though.

I had a sit on it at the EICMA show... it's Ok, the new 12R is a nice bike in the flesh, as is the RS..but they lack something... (for me) it's all a bit UJM.

Ducati launched their Scrambler which has the 800 aircooled motor and they had a huge stand just dedicated to that bike.

the whole Cafe racer thing has had its day and the sit up street and scrambler bike theme seemed to be everywhere.

Honda's road going RC213V was stunning to look at, not sure on price, I guess if you have to ask, then you can't afford it!

New R1 looks just like the M1! they've done a nice job of that..

show was busy yesterday (I was there for work for 3 days) sorry for the lack of photos, time and travelling I'm afraid..
