Not sure if gusta, but the wheels & exhaust system are cool Also, I'm no expert but I think this is the first bike KTM have used that style of swing arm. 180bhp

Front forks look to have remote reservoirs, can't imagine that will be on the production model, kind of expensive I believe?

I can only imagine that will be insane amounts of fun

I believe they are Gas forks like they use on WSB and Motogp bikes

You can buy them out of the box from Ohlins google 'gas ohlins'

About 5-7k a pop

I've had to look very hard but there are three things I'm not keen on; the two very obvious reservoirs on the handle bars and that funny black lump on the tail... other wise that is pretty awesome.

[Irn-Bru]

The black lump is a camera, not sure what that's all about.

although a total KTM fan, I am really depressed about how they are getting away from their off road roots.

The super duke was a start to a road bike. I great bike but not in the spirit of KTM.

But now they remove the 990 for a soft road1190 bike???

By all means compete against the rice eaters and surrender monkeys and make sports bikes, but why get away from their roots? The KTM client market has been off road. Now they are getting away from that.

Only KTM would release a prototype shot of a bike with completely trashed tyres from it being on track

Have some video of the beast

I really really want one of these, but I just know it's going to be way too much money

[Irn-Bru]

SAS has been removed on that bike in the video, can't let the EU emissions people see that video. The wheels look even better on the move

Orange should be reserved for easyjet and tango. Give me carbon and mat black ktm , will allow subtile orange trim.

KTM without orange? That is like a chick with no fanny.

I love the KTM orange, probably because orange is my favourite colour but I loved my 690 SMC in white too, with the orange and black hints.

Surprisingly i like the wheels on the beast, but i hope they make the tail a tad bit longer...
