Styling looks sharper. Be interesting to see what it looks like in road trim.

Too orangey.

[Kwacky]

It's a KTM

[C00kiemonster]

Me likey. Looks more like the concept did before it first arrived on the market.

Too orangey.

For crows?

If I was in the market for a super naked I think it would be the Ducati StreetFighter V4 out of the current line up but very much want to see what the Triumph 1160 Speed Triple is like.

I'm still a Tuono lover I think... the KTM doesn't quite do it for me and I don't like the noise from the Ducati V4.

Or I'd go for a tuned 765RS

[D6]

I like that a lot

[Blade]

I like that a lot

I like that. Quite why the 790/890 doesnt look like that i dont know. The 790 doesnt look right.

Reading on pb forum that KTM dealers are saying that if you fit the KTM approved race exhaust to it, the ECU map will automatically stop the lights and indicators working so you can only use the exhaust on a track.

[Cav]

Well that's an easy get around... get a custom map and lose your warranty (Y)

They're loud enough as is with a standard can

Sounds like they want to harm their own sales figures there.

That would put me off a purchase

[duke63]

Triumph haven’t sold race cans for a few years now.

Doesn’t seem to have harmed their sales any.

That sounds a very dangerous thing to do. I can't imagine how that gets through liability. Even if it is a race can for off road only.
