    I guess it's a bike for folks who don't like messing with bodywork?

    Yeah, me either. I don't think Pike's runs bikes any more.

    onesixsix Mmm... trash!

    Nope. Pike's Peak banned motorcycles in 2021 after Carlin Dunne's death.

    Maybe Hooligans... I mean, it does have a Duke 890 engine and this build is not (on paper maybe) dissimilar to what Harley and Indian do to prep their Super Hooligans. But I don't know the rules well enough.

    With that said, this looks to be a build that's more focused on the affluent enthusiast that is hooligan curious and can afford to have a company like Kramer furnish a turn-key experience. Kinda like the Aprilia Extrema and MV FXX and GTYR Pro builds.

    It's a nice thing for folks who want to buy a nice thing.

    i tossed around the idea of making my rc8c a hooligan bike. i talked a bit with Joe at Kramer when they were prototyping this thing. the price is a little wonky IMO. it should be cheaper than the 890rr.. keep the dymags, non carbon bodywork is fine.

    or at least have the option for a cheaper version.

    Well, when this one sells out, what do you think they're gonna pay for the tooling for the cheap one with? :D

    Current SuperHooligan Rules, it's a non-starter. Claimed HP is too high, wet weight as listed means you're adding 70+lbs of ballast to hit the liquid cooled min, and the small detail that it's not based on a production bike.

    Now, that said... the rules appear to be as flexible as the interested mfg's wallet so... who knows?

    What, they took a 890rr,took away some body work, added higher bars, and charge 10k more for some carbon bits, and wheels.

    Imagine a 50k R6, GXSR750, Speed triple, any non Panigale Duc. Or just the KTM itself.

    Or in my case a 450 to 600cc twostroke. RG maybe or a YZR clone.
    Just too much dough for those specs to me.

    I asked about it when it first got teased and got a resounding fuck no but that was also asked in the same sentence of naked next gen supersports and they're making their way in.

    Only 20 at $50k, they’ll be sold out before listed. I’m sure someone here could get it under that 308 weight mark.

    It’s not a Super Hooligan… it’s a Hyper Hooligan! Impressive stats.
