Pretty sexy tank....
I’ll have 3 or 4 days down there either side of the trip.Hopefully catch up with you on the way through
Looks like it might just be me and you left before it's over withNoooooo….. stay away from the dark side… come back to the light..
Hi. I look at Montgomery Motor Sport #937-540-9369. They may be able to help. Al so try Hard Racing #704-799-2192. DME sells CF parts too. The girl at Catlist had them custom make mine. Montgomery has a low pro 3 gal tank.
i never seen a 3 gallon CF tank... kirkland makes one.... modified montgomery tank.... but 3 gallons i dont really consider streetable...... maybe just barely.. i think the montgomery stuff is all fuel cells and a shell..... that they call a tank. and catalyst says to not let fuel sit in their tank... the ethanol or whatever might eat at it..... not just them, all composite materials have this issue... one company lines them... its slim pickings out there for real streetable lightweight tanks.
Hi Sarge , yes , I am finding it a fun ride for sure , still aint got out in the hills tho , because I am running it in and the bloody weather is still coming out of winter down under . The seat to peg ratio is excellent for me , so far .
No Sarge , it sleeps with the other 2 , tucked up inside . Thats me boy , bout 9 months then , now 11 months over 20kg , a real terrorist age .
That's a very good looking dog right there.......
It should handle like it's on rails in the twisties....light, agile and made to have fun....
The bike weighs 205kg wet and tank full , I aim to shave off all I can , so far 6.4 kg saved by pipe swap over , the lithium battery saved 2.7kg , the wheels I do not know , 2.9kg front and 2.8kg rear , bare no rotors . Got a box of stuff the shop boys gave me which is smog stuff and bracketry etc. I also got a 4kg box of bolts and bar weights and any brackets etc . I removed , replaced with a third of weight at most because a lot of 70 series aluminum was used in addition to the ti fasteners . I will weigh it sometime down the track , and once the warranty finishes , I will fit up all the carbon bodywork I am accumulating . I truly am hanging to get it out in the hills . The power comes in early , 3000 rpm + it makes 60 % torque , first 3 gears are shortish , revs to 10,500 max , 75 degree v twin , 1301cc , 180 hp at crank , 100 ftlb at wheel so I read . Away , the race pipe might fee it up some , the Akapovic / KTM ECU flash might be good for a bit extra , but I got plans to go for different stacks and a fee breathing filter . I will see if there is a woolich tune fo Gen 3 Supeduke .
Definitely buy one Arch, the GT is a different kettle of fish in regards to touring. So docile when you want it to be then 180hp of V-Twin grunt.
Nice to see you posting Toad! The new scooter looks great!!!
This bike is comfortable Willie which I love . I chose this SuperDuke R model for the full performance base , that I could then modify . I pretty much had a choice of either modify my Gen 2 Busa with supercharging or full house build big cc the motor , or buy a Gen 3 , or a Ducati ( maybe next bike down the tack ) . But the KTM always appealed to me , the simplicity of it design , but packed with hi tech . Like a big cc v twin super moto , powerful enough to move my fat ass in good speed , and will handle great too . So I rang Kessners , worked out a deal , and got the ti race pipe and ecu flash , tech pack with quick shifter etc fitted for pick up . Got the Ohlins sprung for my weight , the WP fork is set up as best I can , and i am surpised how good it is , WP is top level , but my weight is what I am talking about . A US racer , fantastic KTM rider , Super
It's like Christmas morning.....
