Here is a Google translation of the post content:

"KTM SC-Duke: the maxi scooter high performance of the Austrian House
Published: Tuesday, November 23, 2010 by Dario Montrone

After Yamaha, Gilera, Honda, BMW and Ducati, could be the turn of the maxi scooter high performance of KTM. He spoke some time ago the site "1000scooters.com" which has also proposed a graphic reconstruction of the hypothetical SC-Duke. The maxi scooter of the House of Austria should be equipped with the same engine displacement of 1000 Super Duke by 98 hp and 90 Nm of torque, combined with the automatic transmission with sequential-COR selector that sets out the detailed City, and Open Road.

Besides being the first maxi scooter to be driven by the motor 1000 cc, the KTM Duke-SC lead to the debut novel solution composed of steel trellis frame, combined with aluminum sub-chassis and 17-inch wheels. Should it be produced, the scooter SC-Duke should cost no less than 10,000 €. KTM has not yet confirmed the news, but since the House of Austria in the past has come out from their core business with the RC8 superbike and the X-Bow, KTM's hypothesis SC-Duke is not so unlikely."

Interesting eh? If this and the BMW concept and the Ducati rumour come to fruition then the maxi scooter market will be a very interesting place.
 
If it was 10k EUR in the west.. It would be 800k min here..

May as well get a decent T-Max.
