t's seven weeks out from the green
light at 2017 Pikes Peak International
Hill Climb, and we can finally say we
have started the project in earnest.
This time last year we had our KTM
1290 Super Duke R built three months
ago, using the last couple of months
before the race to fine-tune the setup
and get the bike feeling like I wanted.
This year, however, the project is being
crammed into just over a month, as the
bikes must be ready to be shipped to
Colorado at the end of May.
