Need to add a little excitement to your life? Perhaps KTM can help. The
Austrian manufacturer says that riding its bikes is like a shot of adrenaline.
That just may be the case for the 950 Supermoto, a street version of KTM’s
highly popular 950 Adventure. Designed to feel like an off-road bike with
sportbike performance, the 950 delivers all the advantages of the Supermoto
category combined with a high-power output 942cc, liquid-cooled V-twin engine
that has a compact structure for superior handling.
With a wet weight of 438
pounds, the 6-speed, 98-horsepower streefighter has been tweaked to the finest
detail. New exhaust design provides more torque from low to high revs. The
super-light aluminum subframe, Brembo cast-aluminum wheels, and deep engine
position contribute to its sporty performance that allows for dramatic
acceleration and swift corner-carving. Pirelli Scorpion Sync tires were tailored
specifically for use on the 950, ensuring a firm grip at every twist and turn.
The 950 is an appealing choice that presents a new approach to the Supermoto
experience. Price: $12,998
The highly anticipated Super Duke will not be on U.S. shores until 2007.
Can’t wait!
Dunlop Motorcycle Tires will offer a series of high-quality, collector’s edition Legends posters, with the net proceeds benefiting injured riders through the Clayton Memorial Foundation. ::MORE::
