2013 KTM Adventure 1290 / 1290cc, 130hp, trellis frame, odd aesthetics
Thanks to InfoMotori we have the chance to enjoy the latest photos of the 2013 KTM 1290 Adventure bike. Ok, let us be more diplomatic – “some of us” will enjoy them. Several changes are obvious starting with a different front end treatment. It’s smaller than before, more streamlined with not so big wind deflector. The gas tank is now even more noticeable “saddle” style while the new headlights incorporate the LED technology. Radial brakes are present offering better stopping power, the swingarm resembles the Duke 690 unit while the frame is a good-old trellis. Continue reading →

Chinese “Not-So-Easy” Reverse Trike / TF110 ATV Yongkang Easy Vehicle Co.
Now this is an interesting “ATV” coming from the Chinese Yongkang Easy Vehicle Company. The reverse trike with the code name TF110 (probably missing a letter “W” in front) – build in similar fashion to CanAm – only for the off road purposes. We’re not so sure if this would prove a better concept in real life than your regular quad, while at the same time we can’t escape the feeling that the build wasn’t entirely the “thought-and-desing” process, but rather a “whatever-parts-are-available-in-the-factory” process. Weighing in around 100kg and boasting a “massive” 110cc engine will guarantee you the terminal speed of around 48km/h. Exciting, no? Continue reading →

Sorry, We Didn’t Know / Cyril Despres Could be Fined for KTM Promotional Video
KTM, Cédric Gracia and the 2012 Dakar Winner Cyril Despres shoot this nice promotional video for the latest orange Freeride 350 bike. Although they shoot some stunning footage at the peaks of Andorra, and generally had a great time, KTM forgot to let the city officials know about it. And now the riders and the crew could face potential fines: from €50 to the whooping €500, each. Cyril better prepare some of the Dakar’s winning money! Just in case you missed the video – watch it after the jump. Continue reading →
