Urban Assault KTM 790 by Roland Sands

Based on a 2019 KTM 790, with a very aggressive aesthetic, with bright orange and sharp lines, this commissioned built was transformed by RSD into more of a classic form while keeping all the functions.

According to Roland Sands:

"This bike has become pretty unrecognizable from the tank-line up. Below the tank-line however, the base has been kept relatively the same minus the fact that we changed the radiator placement and reconfigured the stock skid plate to work with the radiator.

The fuel tank is a crazy story. If we had to do it all over again...we would probably take a different route. Our Shop Manager/Head Fabricator worked hard to make this Water Buffalo Suzuki GT 750 gas tank that came off Travis Pastrana's 199 Triple 750 two-stroke Flat Track bike. Roland and Aaron loved the look of the tank on the raw bike so much that it sparked a journey that leads them down a hole of misery and frustration. However, Aaron had a few tricks up his sleeve and eventually made the vintage tank fit perfectly on this modern adventure bike. In the end, we sacrificed a couple of gallons of fuel but it's exactly what the customer wanted.

We took the seat off of a Husqvarna Vitpilen. We wanted something slim and short so gave us that retro look. That then helped us shape our sub-frame. We modified the Akrapovic exhaust for fit by bringing it up a bit and wrapped an aluminum number plate/exhaust guard for it. On the other side, is an extra fuel tank since we lost some fuel volume with the new tank. We did quite a few changes to the front of the bike while retaining the function of the stock gauge."
