Blinged up version of the SDR at around £20k. Heard it from the horses mouth today. 500 units world wide and probably 50 to the UK.

Should be on sale in around 6 weeks.

For as long as I can remember "special editions" of motorcycles are generally a new paint scheme and the accessory catalog thrown at it. Unless a model is being homologated for racing its general aesthetics only. The Akra system might come in the box to be installed by the customer. Pretty sure I remember Ducati doing that with Termignoni exhausts. Also, 20k. Wow.

SDR is KTM's race bike, currently they don't do one with full fairing and clip-ons, so it's a bit of a one off as all the other 'super-nakeds' are sports bikes with the fairings removed.
Look at the prices of the limited edition Pangales/Streetfighters/HP4/Tuono V4X/Superleggera etc.. makes the KTM look cheap.

Everything I’ve seen suggests lots of PP stuff, akra slip on, upgraded suspension, lighter wheels, paint scheme. Nothing you can’t buy anyways.

basically weight saving but no addition power, I think they’re worried about the V4S streetfighter but I don’t see why. All I’ve seen is the streetfighter is track focused and all the power is top end, not what you need on a naked road bike.
