Me, if I can actually find a dealer to get me one. They don't seem to have any 2012 pricing, allocation, ETA, etc, etc...Very frustrating experience thus far.

Unfortunately, I need to work with a local (Ontario) based dealer. For some reason, some KTMs are disallowed for importation into Canada from the US (likely to protect Canadian dealer interests). As well, I'm looking at trading in my R1 so best to deal with someone local. We'll get them, it's just a matter of time. It's dead of winter here so I'm certainly not missing out on any riding but I had hoped to be able to strike a deal by now - looks like I'll need to wait another 30 days or so. I've also searched for any Canadian dealers who might have leftover late-2011 new inventory and no luck. Apparently, only 16 of these bikes were brought into Canada in 2011.

Thanks for the offer and your thoughts...I'l get to Indy 2012, hopefully on my KTM RC8, not my R1 or my KTM 640 Adventure

I found a reasonably close (less than two hours drive) used 2011 in white/orange - no crashes, no track, no stories, etc, etc.

Is there an easy way to tell if this particular bike is the later production dual spark versus the early 2011 (or am I mixed up and all 2011 are dual spark)?

Thanks again.
