yeah, i'm with you, ktm looks good, but i think the atom is lighter, and possibly even more powerful? but i might be mistaken, don't feel like googling it now just to make it look like i know everything hehe. take care mate

[stateforce]

Nishe machines alright. Not sure about the driver's headbanging near the beginning. :-) So, how fast?

[lamborico]

TheOperaBunny - you forgot the obligatory Cayenne ;)

[TheOperaBunny]

You couldn't have both - that's crazy - that's like having an X5 AND a Range Rover. I think the KTM's much better looking than the Atom - but surely the Atom's far faster?

[lamborico]

Atom is amazing, but there's some serious detail to the X-Bow which is lovely.

But the true Lusso answer is... both!

[seopher]

The question is, X-Bow or Ariel Atom? Are they even in the same league...

[TheOperaBunny]

Has anyone ever ridden a KTM super bike - I always thought they'd be a bit agricultural

[seopher]

I really want to have a go in an X-BOW, never seen one on the road either.

Adrenaline Rush!! ... Nice work LUSSO

[monopeed]

Sweet vid boys. Nice head banging action.

You should really have let me ride the bike though, I'd have been round the out side knee down then up on the rear wheel and....

in the next dyke.
