With the presence of more than 300 ANB Motorcycle Club’s loyal members, A.N.Boukather revealed the KTM Superduke 1290 at ANB headquarters in Nahr el Mot.
Club members and clients met for the yearly barbecue and for the end-of-year KTM accessories and apparel sale. Minutes before the launching, Mr. Nicolas Boukather welcomed the members as they gathered around impatiently.
Lights off, music loud, it was the perfect moment to open the cages and unleash the beast. The KTM Superduke 1290 cut its way through the foggy smoke to show its wild beauty to the audience. All of the attendees rushed to check the details of the all-new naked bike, as well as its specifications.
A.N.Boukather has promised more scoop events for 2014.
