2013 KTM Superduke 1290 R

The ultimate Duke for the KTM fans out there. This is the biggest capacity ever from KTM and this time it is not single-cylinder style. We can see the use or the V engine but I’m still not sure how many cylinders are there. This bike is unmistakenly KTM with the aggressive looks and orange theme of the overall body. I like the way KTM uses the mono-swing arm for the rear suspension. It reminds me the era of Mick Doohan with is 2-stroke 500cc MotoGP bike. The coloured wheel with white and orange colour adds the unique style of this Superduke. It will be unveiled soon at EICMA, Milan.
