The construction of replicas has become common within the two -wheeled sector, even if these have been developed and manufactured in the image and likeness of a MotoGP. This is the case of “RC16 project” work of Jonathon Bellopilot, creator of American content and entrepreneur who at a given time decided to convert a KTM 1390 Super Duke R in the closest, aesthetically speaking, to the KTM that currently disputes the Motorcycle World Cup.
The RC16 project in detail
Bello had the dream of having a street motorcycle as similar as possible to a motorcycle to use. The problem is that to achieve this goal, it has to be in disposal of a bulky amount of money to acquire, for example, a Ducati desmosedici rr or the same, or even more exclusive, Honda RC213V-S. Both models are the clearest examples of what we understand as a registrable motorcycle.
We have no record of what is the capital available to the ideologist and creator of the RC16 project. What is clear is that this has huge amounts of ingenuity, as the final result of this adventure gives good account. And it is not for less, because the complete fairing that now covers the contour of the 1390 Super Duke R has been designed and manufactured by a 3D printer and printer.
From the central air intake, through the front alerons or the stylized rear hill, everything is for “work and grace” of 3D technology. In addition, in the latest advances of the RC16 project, Bello has also set up an escape system Arrow, wearing the same technical configuration as KTM motorcycp, with double output; one at the bottom lateral and another at the upper hill.
Everything indicates that this initiative has just begun, since, what began as a personal project looks like it will finally become a homologable kit that its own creator will sell soon on request. What we still do not know is yes, already having the main base that forms the fairing of this RC16 project, the units that are put on sale will be manufactured in another lighter material than the employee by the printer itself.
For example, fiberglass or carbon. All this, we assume, that will be related to the final cost of the Kit itself. In any case, all those who are interested in reconverting your KTM 1390 Super Duke R in a motorcycle replica, you can consult it directly on the official Jonathon Bello website.
