The German price of the Beast in its standard trim is €15,495 ($20,910), and is way less than what we here have been expecting. This is, obviously a very good piece of news and we can almost hear pulses raise as some readers are starting to make calculations for financing, plans to get more money from selling their actual bikes and more.

At the same time, the 2014 KTM 1290 Super Duke R will reach European dealers in early December, that's about a month's time from now, with the showrooms in in North America receiving it at the beginning of 2014.

Prices will, of course, vary a bit with VAT and ioher on-road taxes, but they should be pretty much around the figure above on the two sides of the Atlantic. The PowerParts catalog includes numerous upgrades for the bike, and they will be stocked by the release dates: Akrapovic exhausts, smaller license plates holders, racing rims, pegs and more.

The top homologated speed is 290 km/h (180 mph).

Thanks Marc B. for the headsup.
