KTM recently launched the Super Duke 990 R Motor hottest, best bike in 2010 and selling in the market, the motor is very impressive by developing an “engine”that will exploit fully into every last inch of free time in road traffic certification: Fully adjustable 48 WP forks, motors ‘Streetfighter’ but also stripped down interpretation of the RC8 model. That’s how they finally gave 2009 KTM 990 Super Duke R and a simple model following the same recipe as in the case Superbike model and, implicitly, expect roughly the same results
As much as KTM’s design crew would achieve in matters of visual similarity, although very nice and helps create a constant and distinctive scheme on all their sports models, the 990 Super Duke R and 990 Super Duke will always stand apart from the 1190 RC8
R and 1190 RC8 simply because of the totally different riding feel, performances etc. It all starts with the 999cc, four-stroke, 75-degree V-twin engine (best known as the LC8) making both the Super Duke R and the Standard model not only competitive, but even ready for the track. For instance, “R” model’s engine develops 130 hp at 10,000 rpm and 102 Nm at 8,000 rpm which is even more impressive when mentioning the bike’s 410.05 lbs weight. That’s also what the simple Super Duke will have to move around, but with 118 hp at 9,000 rpm and 100 Nm at 7,000 rpm so it’s a Super Duke to meet most riding demands.
KTM 990 Super Duke gives you when it’s in motion. Just as KTM re-invented the Streetfighter, you try to invent new words for what happens beneath you curve after curve. The KTM 990 Super Duke sweeps through curves – ultra-precise, radical and agile. The landscape flies past fast, faster, much too fast. You feel the road, the centrifugal force and want more.
