Aren't these things just a BIG CB 500

KTM are chucking a good few euros into road racing now, maybe, just maybe there's a WSB or MotoGP bike coming??

Like all these "mono marque" series the career racers have got to ask themselves where does it lead??

With the Virgin cup there is the step up to (BSS)/BSB and maybe on to WSB.

I don't go for the theory that the KTM type of bike wont produce a talent, and/or potential world championship talent, the CB 500s did, James Toseland. The old Yamaha Rd series produced a whole bus load of nutters and was fantastic TV.

Looking to the future, long term, the strokers have got to go............a shame really.

It's not done the motoGP class any long term harm has it??
