KTM’s website talks about this bike’s daytime running lights making you “visible to other road users” so it appears that this is indeed a street-legal machine.

Some of these will be collected, but many will be ridden. The seating position on these isn’t too uncomfortable, but the race ready nature of this bike will make it pretty rough to ride on typical streets.
Judging from the photos above, the bike is actually track-only. No lights, no mirrors, no turn signals, no license plate bracket.
I haven’t ridden that monster, but the version i rode (Duke 790) was pretty uncomfortable in normal traffic use. It’s doable, but there are many bikes that make normal riding much more fun. The Duke’s seat was hard, it really blasts you with hot air in the summer, and the engine is a bit lumpy on light loads.
Also,…
Most commodity-grade “super” bikes do get used. I mean, they’re expensive toys, yes, but regular people buy them and ride them and I’d argue motorcycle racing is the last true bastion of “Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday.”
Not a great DD... all the extra bits you are paying for over the regular Super Duke R don’t really benefit you on the street at all.
“an electric bike is going to be worse for the environment than a traditional bike.”
Let me just point out that you probably also don’t believe that Donald Trump won the most recent US presidential election.
Ok, I’ll bite.
Nah, he lost his license, now he don’t drive.
Are we sure this wasn’t Joe Walsh making sure his Maserati could still go 185?
Oh no... don’t tell me they’re remaking The Longest Yard *again*…
Communist thinking like this is keeping us from being great again. [crashes schoolbus while commenting]
I say this as an unabashed car nut and Scat Pack owner - they really shouldn’t be able to sell 700+ HP to any Tom, Dick and Asshole that strolls into a Dodge dealer with a payday loan. You should have to get certified to handle power like this.
But enough about Nascar...
People who hang out hoping to video a crash are low life bottom feeders. Also, I watch all their crash videos.
If you watch the first video you can clearly see that the Hellcat continues to push the Silverado into the curb. Hitting the curb caused the rollover.
