BRABUS may be synonymous with high-performance Mercedes-Benz vehicles, but do you know it also has motorcycles? Well, kinda. BRABUS did not roll out two-wheelers on its own; it did it with KTM in 2022 and in 2023, and for 2025, there’s the BRABUS 1400 R Signature Edition. If you like insanely high-capacity naked bikes with all the works, this is the sports bike you will not want to miss—that’s if the sleek have not already sold you.
The BRABUS 1400 R Signature Edition is based on the 2025 KTM 1390 Super Duke R EVO, which already has the aerodynamics of a thrown brick and the acceleration of a caffeinated badger. BRABUS then got involved and said “more”. The result is a hyper naked bike dressed in BRABUS’ full “Black and Bold” identity, complete with WIDESTAR bodywork, carbon fiber everywhere, and a single-seat setup, declaring the exhilaration is for one.
Under the skin sits a 1,350 cc LC8 V-twin producing 190 HP and 145 Nm (107 lb-ft) of torque. It exhales through a dual-pipe underseat exhaust system that not only sounds violent in the best way but also highlights the 17-inch BRABUS Monoblock II EVO “Platinum Edition” wheels. That’s one hell of a bike flex.
Riding tech is equally wild. WP APEX Semi-Active Technology suspension adapts to comfort or full track aggression. Brembo HYPURE monoblock brakes clamp down on 320 mm front Wave discs and a 240 mm rear disc. Five ride modes tailor the power delivery, with PERFORMANCE and TRACK serving up full “I hope you signed your waiver” energy. A full-color TFT display with BRABUS graphics keeps everything sharp.
The carbon overdose continues with custom fairings, a belly pan, ignition lock cover, and rear wheel cover. Inside, there is BRABUS Masterpiece leather and Dinamica microfiber with embossed BRABUS logos, because of course.
Money alone may not be enough to secure this bike because production for this 54,999 USD superbike is limited to just 100 units worldwide. At this point, we are not even sure if there’s any left.
