I suspect this is where all the R&D resources have been spent. Why? Don't get me wrong, I love me some Rally and that bike is Bitchin' to the Nth degree. In fact I'm building up my WR with a little rally style fairing. But why put so much into a bike that you can't sell to the largest market, the US? Who is even going to ride it? They just let their ace pilot walk for KTM a month before Dakar???
I would rather them make good on warrantying (sp?) the 2012 eff ups than piss away resources on a one off bike that nobody will buy, nor will any rider win on.
Alas, this is GasGas though, it is the way they roll...
