Re: RS660?

Shorter chassis My old v-twin sd had a shorter wheelbase than the new parallel 790? Ktm extended it when they did the facelift on the superduke to tame the handling a little.

F800, New Ktm, MT07, Ninja 650, CB500, NC700/750 all realistically sub 120mph machines where performance is gained through agility. The exception being the SV650 (& the Shiver 750 if you want be particular).
