It's probably due to burnouts.
The mark observed is from locking up the tire while braking.
Burnout marks would have it evenly worn and ragged margins, discoloration, chunks missing, blistering, or strips of tire missing along the circumference.
Must have pulled the ABS fuse
Do ABS bikes have a full off? Doesn't look like there is a spacer, so you are probably right.
KTM Dukes, which this bike is, have a supermoto mode you can enable which deactivates the rear ABS so you can back it in
I was thinking the same thing. Either this person didn't replace their tires in a couple of decades or does insane acceleration/turns/burnouts/stunts.
Nah, you'll get that wear pattern from normal riding, if you don't replace your tires the second you get to the wear bars. I ride a pretty fair amount on a sport bike, and about half of my commute is on interstates. When I was using Pirelli Angel STs, there were no bars that crossed the middle, so it was hard to tell how much tread you had left in the middle until one day you were down to the belt. That happened to me multiple times--Anget STs last about 5000 miles on a CBR600rr--but hasn't happened since I switched to using Dunlops.
