I'll believe it when I see it. This wouldn't be the first time KTM fielded a bike out for road test has parts that never made it close to production. Or might not have even been intended to go to production.
That's exactly what I thought as well. My KTM stands for Keeps Taking Money due to crappy components and quality control failures. I've spent way too much on it just to keep it running, not just racing.
The exhaust routing looks to be similar to the 690. I'm wondering if they are going to start doing what Kramer has been doing, and make a 690 supersport. https://www.kramermotorcyclesusa.com/
