1290 KTM Super Duke R – Patriot edition

After the dealer meeting there are photos all over the web already, but I got approval to post a few more of the Kiska designed Patriot Superduke. Not too high res for now though.  I didn’t do the GFX on this one :)

This week KTM are entertaining several hundred U.S. dealers for a factory visit in Austria. At the end of the event a special preview version of the upcoming 1290 KTM Super Duke R was shown in ravishing Stars’nStripes paintwork at the final dinner in Salzburg.

The official presentation of the completed KTM 1290 Super Duke R will take place at the EICMA show in Milan. Just before in Spain – during the autumn – international press will be given the opportunity to testride ‘the beast’ on the road as well as a track. The Super Duke R 1290 R will already be in KTM dealers by December.

MARK WEBBER TO LEAVE F1 FOR PORSCHE

Just prior to this past weekend’s British Grand Prix, there was big news in the F1 world when Red Bull’s Mark Webber officially announced what had been rumored for some time. Following the end of this season, Webber will leave F1 completely to join Porsche’s new Le Mans and WEC program for 2014. Not only will this bring even more attention to Porsche’s much publicized return to Le Mans, but it also brings up the question of who will take Webber’s seat at Red Bull.

Kimi and Vettel as teammates anyone? Oh boy.
