Standard series KTM bike????

For the second question, what about something related to the factory? Perhaps "factory-standard bike". I dunno...

a standard road bike, provided by KTM


Explanation:
or,
a standard model road bike, provided by KTm

This is the one you can buy from a showroom.

"serial bike" makes no sense in English. The alternative expression is "homologated". This means that the state of tune and all options have been registered, and have reached a certain number of units made. But the formal term is out of place here. I have never heard the word said in English, only in French and Italian.
