Bike Garage - Proto Ktm 490

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 motorbike earlier beingness set into production is ever preceded past times a image that makes fans dream, also bad that inwards the production stage many of the stylistic solutions are lost.
Geoffrey POUPENEY, too, was struck past times what KTM presented for his 790, only decided to build his ain special. The next is the storey that tells the project, told past times Geoffrey

For the description of the project, when KTM had showed the image of the 790 DUKE, I was crazy close this wheel only past times seeing spyshots of the production type, i was less motivated then i decided to practice a sort of this image myself.

I took the frame of my erstwhile KTM 450 EXC as well as a 525 EXC engine, my KTM mechanical agent has gave me wheels of a Duke 690 as well as i started the project. Because of the mix betwixt 450 frame as well as 525 engine, the advert 490 Duke was logic to me.

 I conduct keep adapted many KTM parts similar the consummate front end interruption alongside brake arrangement of a Superduke 990 R only that was the most slow to do.

The commencement large business office is the aluminium swingarm, i conduct keep designed it on CAD system, parts of it were machined past times Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation & watercutting, a colleague has welded parts togerther. 

The minute large business office is the aluminium subframe which include the air intake. I larn dorsum to the CAD arrangement as well as a friend of the forum STREETMONSTERS has machined side panels, i run 1 time again Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation & watercutting for parts as well as my colleague has welded parts.

With that parts the chassis is complete.

My colleague who's similar to welded not ordinary parts plant hard on the exhaust pipes arrangement inwards stainless steel.

The balance of the wheel was the most hard affair to do. I conduct keep sculpted the consummate bodywork as well as i gave it to JERSEN COMPOSITE to larn inwards in carbon fiber, at that topographic point was a lot of parts similar headlight fairing, cooling side panels, seat, airbox, undertail fairings, tank embrace as well as fuel tank. It took a lot of fourth dimension manufactured it.

I would similar to nation a keen give thank yous you to all people who had helped me to practice this project, Julien Steulet, Beca, Fabio Cardicchi (Cardicchi.ch), Jérôme Senmartin (Jersen.fr), Franck Breton, as well as my KTM agent squad Jean Michel Resch, Joffrey Luttringer as well as Fred Kuttler (Kuttler.fr).
