Revelstoker Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 One badass looking machine. They certainly seem to be chasing the Ducati Streetfighter and BMW K13R in terms of power.150-200hp in a sub-400lb bike is insane. My Nissan SER had 150hp and my Mini is as 211. Both weigh, around 2000lbs.Love to have one but the 50hp Guzzi V7 Racer seems to be more practical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Do you have an original (classic) mini?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imprez55 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Looks awesome, except the front headlight. It seriously ruins everything for me making it look just ok. The only thing I can think of is government regulations because it seems to break all the styling of the bike while forcing lines out of the minimal front fairings and tank. I seriously hope anyone who ones that will fix that and have an awesome looking machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobrat Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Gawd, that thing is sofa king cool. Want. Or, want the new Hyperstrada. Maybe more practical, like the 990 SMT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 It's a custom build, guys. Not a production piece. I have seen the soon to be released NEW Super Duke and that ain't it...But, that being said, it is an awesome loking machine and had some serious care when built...Oh, and Rev - 150-200 in a sub 400 lb machine is pretty standard stuff these days...

Moto-Brian Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Now, that is the CC size and probably the 1290 motor proposed. It also appears to be the same chassis.So, it could be, but there are so many custom things done and Kiska is the design team behind all of KTM machines. Basically, this COULD be the real deal with a bunch of add ons and custom stuff.Although, what we saw last year was not a finished and production ready machine. However, we saw the new Adventure and it is exactly what we saw...In any case, these are some of the coolest bikes I have seen. A lot of passion and design in these and they are a load of fun to ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailwood Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 That is some serious hawtness. I loved the RC8R I rode last year and imagine that a Duke would be a fantastic streetbike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revelstoker Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Do you have an original (classic) mini?! No, I wish. 2005 JCW Convertible Oh, and Rev - 150-200 in a sub 400 lb machine is pretty standard stuff these days...Well, Pani is under and HP4/ZX10R are both over but yes, not uncommon. P2W ratio is so overkill that they require elecro assist to make rideable but that is an argument for another thread.Personally, they have pushed these bikes far beyond anything that I would want or need. B and C cup kind of guy, I don't need DDs and I will let you all fight over them.-----Now, back to to the SuperDuke. What have you have seen and can you burn those mental images into a GIF? Is your production mule less sexy? I came close to buying the old one, twice but opted in the end for the SMT.

Is your production mule less sexy? I came close to buying the old one, twice but opted in the end for the SMT.I cannot tell you exactly, but that one would be a lean towards the old school Duke and the pre-production unit we saw wasn't anything like it. I am starting to think that one pictured is something they just did to get some attention to the brand as the new Adventure will not be released in the US as a 2013 and the RC8R will be pretty much the same outside the slipper and BNGs...

jbot Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 oh, i know all about it. it's not exactly morning wood material though, as capable a bike as it is. i read up on them quite a bit when i considered blowing my wad on a multi, and it came a close second. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revelstoker Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 In one of the articles I read on "The Beast," KTM stated the color of the demo model was not a production color because it fades too fast. Bummer, as it is a lot sexier than that production still. KTM ADV is one heck of a bike from the reviews. However, the 690 Supermono has my curiosity piqued. With the rc390 coming to the states, one can only hope the 690 supermono gets green lighted and makes it to our shores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 They changed both the Adventure and Super Duke slightly since we first saw it in Austria in the secret labs there. The front on the Adventure was changed slightly to avoid the double fender look they had which is nice to see. They also changed the exhaust on the SD which also was smart. Both were pre production, but they are almost exactly what we saw. The SD has always been a bike I was fond of. A LOT of saddle time with the old one and I can't wait to try the new one when it arrives. I heard the Adventure was a great bike if you choose the R model. The standard has 17" wheels and makes it less aggressive off road vs. the R. But still very capable... Anyways, cool to see the new bikes we saw a couple of years ago. The 390 coming also!
