KTM's profilation of this bike
If there´s ever been an uncompromising riding machine in its purest form then it´s the ultra-sporty 990 Super Duke R. With its muscle-flexing V2 and perfectly controllable power, it can be regarded as the ultimate scourge of the superbikes - and now there´s room for two! Its equally manoeuvrable and precise chassis is equipped with the most exclusive components - from the CNC-machined triple clamp to the steering damper or coated fork tubes.
