WORDS: BENJAMIN ‘ BJ ’ KUBAS CRONIN PICS: KTM
It’s a brave thing that KTM are undertaking – entering MotoGP against the long established stalwarts. As you can read about in Bruce’s superb race feature later on in the mag, they’re throwing their all into the endeavour, heart and soul. They’ve hired the best riders they could who were willing to take a chance on this fledgling effort but more importantly, have produced a stunning machine worthy of adorning any wall, anywhere. Okay, its silhouette may look suspiciously close to Honda’s RCV when compared in black and white, but that trellis frame and KTM’s avid attention to detail makes it a joy to behold wherever you care to look, or in its rather splendid entirety, wouldn’t you agree? Roll on 2017 – and enjoy!
