I've heard KTM is pretty cool about demo's. Atleast our local dealer is.

Maybe it's something with manufacturer policy.

No price has been announced yet. But based on the superduke's price of $15k, my guess is around 17 or 18 large.

Kinda steep. I'd rather have a LE R1.

The rc8 is a twin and will be fairly rare though...

Now you're talking... the rc8 is being aimed directly at the 1098 base model, it's pretty clear. I wonder if they'll come out with hopped-up versions to attack the s?
