THE BRABUS 1400 R SIGNATURE EDITION — THE KTM-BASED HYPER-NAKED FROM HELL!
Brabus doesn’t do subtle. They don’t do mild. And they sure as hell don’t do “normal.” So when the Bottrop crew decided to take everything they’ve learned from decades of building some of the world’s most outrageous cars and apply it to two wheels? Welcome to the BRABUS 1400 R SIGNATURE EDITION - the most powerful Brabus motorcycle ever, and a rolling flex of carbon, engineering violence, and luxury wrapped in darkness. This is a beast of a thing, drenched in carbon fibre and illuminated by LED fury. Under all the carbon, black magic, and Brabus attitude lives a 1,350 cc LC8 V-twin pushing 140 kW and 145 Nm - numbers that put it firmly in “hyper naked with supercar energy” territory. Power delivery is sharpened by an internal ram air intake system, feeding the engine like it’s inhaling the night sky. Five riding modes let riders go from calm to feral, depending on how brave (or foolish) they’re feeling. And when that twin-cylinder fury comes alive through the dual-pipe exhaust tucked beneath the carbon undertray, you know it, from very far away. Brabus took their signature WIDESTAR philosophy - more stance, more presence, more aggression - and translated it into a hyper-naked silhouette that looks like it escaped from a cyberpunk dimension.
Highlights include:
Precision-sculpted exposed carbon fibre fairings
Exclusive “Midnight Veil” body colour
Custom BRABUS carbon mask around the LED headlight
A distinctive BRABUS DRL signature, lifted from their automotive builds
Sculpted body geometry that gives the bike a proper supervillain profile
Up front, the bike stares you down with one of the most aggressive lighting signatures ever put on two wheels. It’s pure Brabus attitude distilled into a headlight.
Inside the darkness is a seat built the same way they upholster their seven-figure cars - handcrafted from BRABUS Masterpiece leather and Dinamica microfibre, complete with embossed logos and sculpted detailing. Side winglets behind the backrest don’t just look rad, they help optimise aero at speed. Everything is functional, everything is intentional, everything is extra. Rolling stock comes courtesy of 17-inch BRABUS Monoblock II EVO “Platinum Edition” wheels, because even on a bike, Brabus refuses to put anything ordinary on the road.
The suspension setup reads like a spec sheet from a superbike crossed with a spaceship, including WP APEX semi-active technology, electronically controlled magnetic damping valves, on-the-fly adjustability, a Comfort setting to “wreck your local twisties” mode and an adjustable SAT rear shock. Tap a button and the whole bike transforms from smooth cruiser spec to full-send racetrack animal.
