Interesting article, thanks for posting it.

I had no idea that KTM was considering it.  Lots of $$$.   And I am still a Suzuki fan.  You'd think someone would hire Nicky.

I bet that'll make an interesting sound!

 Nicky will be riding a Honda in World Super Bike next year. I would like to see him return to Flat track racing.

yeah,  poor Nicky.  Between KTM and Suzuki, you'd think he could get away from evil Honda.

So would this old flat-tracker.  Nicky would really liven up US flat track racing.

cha ching!$$ Nicky's salary in his last year of MotoGP ~ $900K
I think he'll do well in Superbike.
They need a marketing-facelift too.

You think Nicky will do OK on a Honda in 2016?  Even Nicky was saying he was hopeful for 2017.

I suppose there are $900 reasons he's not running flat track.  But I wish he was running factory MotoGP, whether Suzuki, Aprilia, or KTM. 

It's going to be hard to have a reason for me to go to another MotoGP race without and American and the failed end of this season.

  I was at a indoor flat track years back when Hayden's stood on all three steps on the podium. ;-)

  I hope Nicky does well. I have been a Nicky fan for years.

  I did like MM until the last few races, his actions recently have changed my opinion of him. I haven't liked D.P since he took Nicky out one race before the end of 2006 almost costing Nicky the championship.

The president of KTM intimated that it was not socially acceptable for them to make high powered sport bikes for public consumption.

very strange logic coming from a company that makes one of the highest HP naked twins on the market.

It seems to me since Mad Max Biaggi retired World Super Bike is not as interesting, could just be me but it has gotten boring.

If Nicky had stayed with Ducati when even Rossi couldn't ride them, he would be podium every time on the new Ducs

What an beautiful engine. Puts the cobbled looking Motus engine to shame. Simply stunning. V4 engines, nothing like them on a vike., best of all worlds.
