Remember when German supercar performance brand Brabus got together with KTM to punt out the drool-worthy Brabus 1300 R?
If you recall, this bike used genetics from the Austrians’ hoon-happy Super Duke Evo / the sold-out-in-under 48-minutes Super Duke RR to create a carbon fiber dream machine, complete with all the extra fixin’s.
Today, that same iconic legacy continues with the Brabus 1300 R Edition 23 – and if you think getting the specs straight was hard enough with the last piece of sexy, wait until we get into this baby.

According to the recent press release, the base platform comes from KTM’s 1290 SUPER DUKE R EVO, with only 290 available units and livery fitting a king – all dressing “forged BRABUS Monoblock Z wheels, high-end carbon body elements and a stylish bespoke seat.”
Everything is powered by the EVO’s 1,301 cc LC8 V-Twin heart, capable of 180hp @ 9,500rpm and 140Nm of torque @ 8,000rpm, booming out of a BRABUS dual-pipe slip-on exhaust.
Yum.

A new carbon fiber headlight mask and handlebar-end mirrors do the honors of creating personality at the front, while carbon bodywork wraps the side of the bike and redesigned air ducts/side panels serve as “a further homage to decades of experience in processing prepreg carbon fiber.”
Did we mention the one-piece carbon fiber undertray and the fact that the bespoke seat is heated?

Everything rolls on BRABUS Monoblock Z “Platinum Black” forged wheels, with floating duties carried out by WP APEX semi-active suspension and COMFORT, STREET, SPORT, TRACK, ADVANCED, and AUTO riding/damping modes.
Here’s a detailed list of everything that went into the build, according to the press release:

Pre-orders are set for February 16th @ 15:00 CET, with the preorder link pasted here – just in case someone wants this in their garage (who wouldn’t).
What do you think? Is the Brabus 1300 R Edition 23 your cup of tea?
