So I have always been a fan of the KTM 990 S/R having 84kW and 207kg dry weight equals 0.405kW/kg . Bags of fun I presume ( would not mind to have one!)

SO next big thing is the 1190 what a beast!! seriously this I think might be the best out there 110kW and 217kg dryweight equals 0.5kW/kg :3some:.

But to my shock what is this thing I see the 1050?? 70kW and a weight of 212kg dry..0.33kW/kg ???.

What went wrong you add 50cc to the 990(999cc) and lose 14kW? I thought the 1050 would be a light weight agile machine. But it seems it might be heavy weight slow poke??

Any thoughts gents? (for this argument we can forget about the 1290 super adv 118kW 229kg 0.51kW/kg)
