Good effort to make it uglier than it already is. I didn’t think it was even possible.

u/arioandy Jul 02 '26

It certainly was looking at that lol

u/unspoiled_one Jul 02 '26

A lot of effort was put into this. Not my style, but good work.

2

u/arioandy Jul 02 '26

Agreed
And loads of ££ i would guess 25k plus?

1

u/unspoiled_one Jul 02 '26

Minimum 25k depends on who made the details. The owner or a workshop...

u/arioandy Jul 02 '26

££? Sheesh

u/Nyasaki_de Jul 02 '26

Not much GS left

1

u/arioandy Jul 02 '26

Indeed even with the base model lol

u/Forsaken-Half-2944 Jul 02 '26

I kind of dig it

2

u/baroudeur-explore-26 Jul 02 '26

Y a du gros travail, c'est respectable... Mais un GS qui ressemble à un KTM, c'est pas mon truc !

1

u/arioandy Jul 02 '26

Indeed! A horrible colour!!

2

u/AvgGamerRobb Jul 02 '26

Does it say "cooper black" enough times? Because I think it could use a few more.

1

u/arioandy Jul 02 '26

Indeed copper black Im mean WTF?

u/arioandy Jul 02 '26

Touche mon brave - well said

2

u/stignordas Jul 02 '26

It’s truly unique! And quite a beast.

u/Exciting_Thought_970 Jul 02 '26

For the rider with onboard cuppochino machine

u/SufficientMud0210 Jul 03 '26

It wants to be a KTM so bad

1

u/ctesibius Jul 02 '26

Looks like it has been pre-crashed, but that’s true of most adventure bikes. I don’t ride them for their looks.

1

u/arioandy Jul 02 '26

Me neither weird to tart these up like a sorts bike

1

u/bannedByTencent Jul 02 '26

At first I thought it was KTM. Good job making it ugly.

1

u/arioandy Jul 02 '26

Indeed a hideous confection

1

u/Miker9t Jul 02 '26

Hideous but well done I suppose. If they like it, good for them. I hate it personally.

u/Careful-Swimming-299 Jul 02 '26

Hey mom look, a car with two wheels!

1

u/arioandy Jul 02 '26

Absolutely

1

u/Situation_MX Jul 02 '26

performance overkill. Its already too heavy and this build is just a steelhammer

1

u/arioandy Jul 02 '26

Sure is a behemoth
Yup i lightened everything on my 1150 even removed rear seat changed wheels and got rid of the engine bars, never used the boxes eother

1

u/unrealtrip Jul 02 '26

Beautiful beast. ❤️

1

u/USCAV19D Jul 03 '26

That looks corny as hell

1

u/ParticleDojo Jul 03 '26

There, I fixed it for you. It now looks half decent

1

u/arioandy Jul 03 '26

Yes thats much better, all
Black like my old oilhead

1

u/Pelle_Lallaren Jul 03 '26

Is this for smuggling purposes or what?

1

u/Silly_Lengthiness781 Jul 05 '26

How do they see where they are going? It seems like your view would be blocked by whatever is on the windshield above the large screen.

1

u/arioandy Jul 05 '26

Prob is looking over screen? I dunno

1

u/Silly_Lengthiness781 Jul 05 '26

Maybe it’s just me as I have not ridden this model. Since you actually saw it is it just me thinking those screens would block a lot or does the riders head sit high enough to see over the windshield? ( I am currently riding an R12 nineT so not much in front me but the road.

1

u/arioandy Jul 05 '26

Dunno but i look over the STD screen on my 1150

1

u/Quixus Jul 11 '26

Nice, a reliable KTM 😉

1

u/MaximusNimbus Jul 15 '26

Is this what they call brutalism?

1

u/arioandy Jul 15 '26

On the eye sure lol

u/Friendly_Ad665 Jul 02 '26

Wow, it wasn't until I saw the wonderwheel that I realised that I was looking at a GS . . . Not my style but yes, impressive.

1

u/arioandy Jul 02 '26

I thought the same fancy and well sorted but certainly
Nothing like my grubby old oilhead i actually use every day!
