Brabus/KTM collaboration gone in 115 seconds
The BRABUS 1300 R, the first motorcycle in a new official collaboration between KTM and German "luxury mobility experts" Brabus, is an exclusive 154 model limited edition "luxury naked bike"… and if you wanted one? Bad luck. They're gone. Done. Over. Sold from the KTM website in 1 minute and 55 seconds apparently!
Known for aggressive pricing and exclusivity, the 1300 R was the first ever Brabus branded motorcycle and is said to represent just the start of an official partnership between the Gelsenkirchen based Mercedes tuner and customiser and KTM - the goal being to create "unique and fresh modern luxury motorcycles clearly differentiated from the standard KTM product portfolio".
Described as a "fascinating new addition to the Brabus portfolio of bespoke, high-performance luxury mobility products that fuses the Brabus -typical 'Black and Bold' design language with the highly sophisticated platform of the KTM 1290 Super Duke R EVO", the 1,301 cc V-twin platform is said to deliver "high levels of rideability thanks to WP semi-active suspension technology and rider-enhancing electronics".
Built with "exclusive high-end elegance", bespoke carbon fibre elements and a "host of signature Brabus features" including lightweight Brabus monoblock Z forged wheels developed specifically for this model. It was available in a choice of two exclusive colourways - Magma Red and Signature Black - with both variants limited to just 77 units.
