Quote
IT was perhaps a fortuitous 'accident' that on the very day Ducati revealed its updated, 2013-spec Multistrada, the firm's Austrian rival KTM briefly posted an official image of that bike's most obvious rival on its own website.
Quickly grabbed by the ADVRider forum, even though the image was taken down by KTM it's been impossible to put the cat back in the bag. Although after endless spy shots and even a road test of a prototype by German magazine Motorrad, the bag's been untied with the cat coming and going as it pleases for some time now.
What's really new here is a glimpse of the final paint scheme – orange, of course – and a few specs. With 148bhp (150PS) it's bang on Multistrada pace, while the weight, at 235kg wet, is pretty close to the Multistrada Touring's 220kg.
With four “driving modes”, traction control, multi-mode ABS, ride-by-wire and an adjustable windscreen also revealed, it looks like it's got the gizmos to rival Ducati, too.

I am highly suspect of their "tubeless" wheels.

The regular version with 17/19 tubeless wire spoke wheels is interesting. Lots lighter (per specs) than the Triumph Explorer XC. Hmmm....

Amazing how low-tech the frames look in these bikes.
Lots of fasteners in the frame.

I think you're looking at how the crash guards attach. The frame looks pretty slick.

While I like it, I hope the have a more "adventure" oriented model as well. The low exhaust and apparently small fuel capacity defeats the purpose of a real adventure bike..

the above opinion is simply that of an average middle aged hick with one too many brain injuries... or, don't take it too serious.

Yes, but they (and Yamaha) do it right. That is, they do not have the spokes going through the middle of the wheel. They both use a lip on the outside of the wheel which the spokes connect. Looking at the large image above and the detail of KTM's tubeless wheels, they appear to be using some sort of an internal seal which has never worked.
Here's how BMW does it.

I hear the Alpinas tubeless spoke wheels work well. Maybe KTM's wheel is similar.

Wow... I wish this bike was on the horizon when I bought a 2012 RC8R earlier this year... I probably would have limped along with my Daytona 955i another year.

The regular 1190 Adventure is sitting firmly at the top of my "short list". It has everything I'm looking for in my next street bike. I wonder what it is going to list at in the USA?
