KTM plans for the Paris Motorcycle show2007-08-09



In Paris KTM will concentrate on the LC4 single-cylinder models, involving the 690 Enduro and 690 Duke III. Earlier this year KTM has been in action all over the world in enduros and in desert rallies on 690 versions of its Enduro and rally bikes. The 690 Baja and 690 Rally. In Milan last year KTM showed us its 690 Rally Replica for more serious rally privateers. A 690 Adventure model is now expected as well as a LC4 690 street offroad model.

I was told there will be both expected models (690 Enduro, 690 Adventure, 690 Duke...) but also one or two unexpected versions of the 690 platform... We shall have to wait and see, but we hope that one of them will be a 690 Supermono.

There has been a lot of talk about such a model and KTM having the most powerful single-cylinder four stroke engine plus the fact KTM are heavily into road bikes these days could make for such an exciting model soon.

The 2008 690 Enduro will succeed the LC4 Hard Enduro. The LC4 690 Enduro is said to feature a very light steel-trellis frame and an innovative self supporting fuel tank at the rear. KTM claims (without offering the dry-weight figure) that the overall package is extremely light. KTM also states in its press release that much thought has gone into a sporty, but still ergonomically correct seat. The 690 Enduro will feature high spec WP suspension and will be shown in public for the first time at this Autumns Paris motorcycle show.

KTM's head excecutive has now forbidden any leakages of further RC8 information. The RC8 1190 superbike will be launched for the first time in Milan on press day.

KTM will first concentrate all efforts on the RC8 superbike and the racing activities planned for this.
Then KTM will start looking at other plattforms such as the Venom concept. Today there is a "no go" for the naked Venom, but sometime next year KTM will probably start developing concepts such as the Venom further, perhaps into a production model by 2009.

About www.motorcyclists-online.com English version:
At the beginning, in 2001, www.motorcyclists-online.com was an exclusive French Motorcycle website. Now, since September 2005, it has become bilingual: English speaking people are welcome !
We do believe, at www.motorcyclists-online.com, that linguistic boundaries are not a problem when we share the same passion for bikes.
We are currently working on translating all articles and contents, to finish the UK/US version. You will certainly notice some bugs or translation errors: please do not hesitate to advise us by e-mail, Private Message or by posting in the Forum. Your help is welcome !
For the moment, articles which haven’t been human translated are automatically machine translated, which I must confess is not really famous, but faster than human translators.
