4 days ahead of the official unveiling date, we're happy to bring you the first unofficial photos of the KTM 1290 Super Duke R's final version.
From the rather poor pictures Moto-Station got we can however tell that the new streetfighter blends in the classic shape of the 690 Duke with some of the edgy aggressivity of the RC8 R superbike.

The powerplant is expected to deliver anywhere between 160 and 180 HP and rumor has it, it's going to be a more streetable version of the aforementioned RC8 R machine. We totally dig the compact design and the ultra-evil front end, bringing a new dawn in modern roadster design.

No word on other details such as ABS or the recently announced MSC safety system, but all answers will be given in 4 days' time.
