I doubt very much a 2-stroke would get past the Euro emission controls these days.

Apparently KTM is doing VERY well in controlling the 2-stroke emissions, and speculation has it that they might introduce something for the road soon.

Do you have any specs on it senile?
Probably a photoshop bike, but rumors have started to surface again that it could be a possibility for Japan in 2009. Legit or not, it would be the most ultimate bike imo

Ultimate hayabusa...concept. can't be made. Those wheels are see through and, apparently, can't take the speed.

Meh I'm sure they will but for now it remains a concept and concepts have always been a little over the top.

Pic of the 2010 Triumph Daytona 1050 - hope they don't have to change much by the time they release it. Looks beautiful.

LOL! YES! I know, it's crazy! Dad must be super rich. I almost shat myself, and my friends had this look something in the line of 'what's this idiot doing', but I couldn't care. I just stood there, looking at this machine for a while.

Sadly the owner wasn't around, so no. But I will be keeping my eyes open!

Sadly, that is only a concept, Over here.

Hopefully they don't change it a lot when they finally start production.

I read somewhere that the plans for putting this into production are pretty slim, especially in this economical climate I think.

Mine.

0-100km/h in under 3 seconds, 100 - 200km/h under 6 seconds. That's 0 - 200km/h in under 10sec. And the price is a fraction of some of the bikes' posted here.

Awesome choice dude, it was one of my options when I went looking a few weeks ago. If I didn't go for the Buell XB9SX I would probably have taken either the SV or the Z1000.
