The guys at HFL have gotten their hands on what looks like a cameraphone photo of KTM North America’s product road map for the next three model years (actually, it now looks like they just lifted the photo from BARF without giving them credit as having the story first). Showing the bikes that will hit American shores in 2012, 2013, and 2014, we get a glimpse of what new models will grace the showrooms of KTM dealers, as well as which models will be receiving facelifts and revisions. The presentation slide really speaks for itself, but perhaps the most interesting item on the list is what sounds like a 350cc version of the company’s Moto3 race bike (shown above?).
Other notables include the KTM 350 Duke, which has been heavily rumored since the KTM 125 Duke came out in Europe earlier this year (though thought to be an India only model). A new 1290cc platform also appears to be in the works, as it will find usage in an Adventure model (also shown above?), as well as the Super Duke R (schwing!). KTM’s electric off-roader also seems to be headed stateside for 2013, with an on-road model complimenting the off-road version that we’ve beens seeing, though the “Freeride 350” has us puzzled.
We imagine there’s some angry phone calls going out right now to whichever dealer conference member snapped this photo (not to mention the likelihood of the wrong side of a lawsuit headed their way). That’s why most dealer meetings now require all phones to be checked at the door. Welcome to the information age KTM.
