A four-point harness clamps your body tight into a specially designed Recaro seat. Except it isn't really a seat; it's more a slice of orthopedic padding glued to a carbon-fiber shell that's fixed to the carbon-fiber monocoque. There are no doors, no windows and only a slender polycarbonate excuse for a windscreen.   First Drive: 2008 KTM X-Bow Replies to this message: jlbl (Jul 27, 2008 4:07 am)

Replying to: KarenS (Jul 25, 2008 7:17 am) For a start, he's driving at a gear higher pretty much everywhere, using the engine's broad torque band to carry the speed instead of running at peak rpm, like we were doing.   Looks like Janson Barlow was describing the way of driving a performant diesel car.   Regards, Jose

What does the "D" stand for in "LCD display". If "D" stands for "display" what is a "liquid crystal display display"?   It should be "LC display" or "LCD", not "LCD display". (I know, same as HIV virus and a thousand other stupid, useless, redundant acronyms.)   If the purpose of an acronym is to abbreviate, why use the acronym in the first place if the abbreviation is made longer by redundancy? Redundancy contradicts abreviation.   I apologize for the digression. Please continue w/ normal programming.   BTW, KTM makes dual-sport, off-road, supermotard & has announced a superbike, far more than the motocross bikes mentioned.
