KTM X Bow UK price revealed
 KTM already took 1,500 preorders for the X-Bow track tool, 250 of them are headed to clients in the United Kingdom. The price for this orange and carbon fiber apex beast is £37,012. A bit high compared to some of the other autos available, but we don`t think the price will get many complaints – especially since will be packing 240 HP when the deliveries will start at the end of 2008`s spring.
