Liking the KTMYou might be right. Maybe it's bodywork on the side of the thing. I see white in the grass and what looks like a head on top. No where near the driver. Either way, it's safe to say they are in the wrong spot.
Those roads up by Suches are awesome. I've been a sportbike guy all my life, but my body is winning the debate between comfort and all out performance. Hence the KTM 1190. Still has a 150 hp, which isn't bad.
