It's Moto
Racetech-ish Shrouds?!

The 450RRs are (wildly) trick things, certainly, and if I had the spare bucks, I'd buy one. Though, you have to put your order in right quick when they announce each new version. They are the 'go to' bike for Privateers and smaller (and Big) teams. And, some Other Manufacturers..... Good value, basically. Harks back to when things like TZs / NS's / RGs etc were relatively affordable, and available.
It seems so strange that they, KTM, don't do a more affordable version for the hoi polloi. There's a lot of ADV Poseurs out there, And genuine Travelers that don't want / need a Land Yacht. I've the feeling Honda might just beat them to it, and make up a Tank, Fairing and Tower to have on a 'Dakar' type 450L - the new, Japanese made one. Hell, they've done it on the Thai made budget 'Rallye' 250L. It would be quite a chuckle to see the niche specialists that KTM / KTHusky are, be gazumped by Honda.
