Karma for correct answer.

I briefly glanced a bike this morning I really liked but I have no idea what it was.

It was a sports adventure style, seemed like a cross between a KTM big SM and an S1000XR.

it looked chunkier than an SM but lighter than an adventure.

It had a silver tubular frame, the tubes were pretty thick,

Bodywork was red white and blue.

It had USD forks I think they were gold but could have been silver.

Looked a bit like a hypermotard but the frame tubes were much thicker and the front looked lower.

Headlight was round, square, single, multiple, weird, asymmetrical?

I didn't specify these because I'm not sure but I have an 'impression'. These could all be wrong.


Beak?
No

Screen?
No

High or low front mudguard (or both)?
Low

I only saw the LHS, I have a feeling it was underslung

Single seat / split seat? Grab rail?
Dual seat but a small one the back was slim I didn't see a grab rail. The one in question had a GIVI PLX rack

Headlight was round, square, single, multiple, weird, asymmetrical?
Rounded but not round

Did it have a distinctive accent?

It looked like the bastard offspring of the S1000R and the F800R with a tube frame.

I'd have said multistrada until you said no beak. DOn't think they'
come with a silver frame either.

Aprilia Caponord?
