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?
Been excited about this one since they teased it a year or so back... I... want it... Edit: Here's a link to the previous news. https://www.motorcycle.com/bikes/fe...a-super-hooligan-inspired-naked-bike-44597440
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.
Ummm... this thing would be a #1 reason to pull a license plate!! and use lights just to see the best places to run to..
