KTM 990 Super Duke (2005)

The KTM 990 Super Duke is a bold and unapologetic motorcycle that embodies the spirit of youthful rebellion. Its 100hp V-twin engine, with its four valves per cylinder and DOHC configuration, is the perfect match for this supermoto’s razor-sharp handling and agility.

With its ultra-long wheel travel, the 990 Super Duke navigates even the most treacherous road surfaces with ease, allowing riders to focus on the sheer thrill of the ride. Whether carving through city streets or devouring country lanes, this motorcycle’s unique blend of power and precision is unmatched.

And yet, despite its intimidating 990cc motor, the 990 Super Duke is surprisingly comfortable on long trips, thanks in part to KTM’s thoughtful provision of top box and tank bag accessories. The result is a motorcycle that is at once a raw, unbridled thrill machine and a practical, long-distance tourer – a true king of the road.
