KTM 990 SUPER DUKE
STATE OF THE ART
The 'top-of-the-line' Duke was first launched in 2005 – and was an immediate success. Two years later, it underwent a complete overhaul and has since been better than ever. The 2010 version of the 990 Super Duke runs on a 120 HP V2 engine, which combines raw power with pure rpm-induced exhilaration. Its minimalist design gives it a total empty tank weight of just 186 kg – ideal for ultimate riding pleasure! What makes the 990 Super Duke even more impressive is that it is not only highly dynamic but is also extremely easy to handle and perfect for everyday riding. The LC8 engine, the lightweight chrome-molybdenum steel trellis frame and the high-quality, fully-adjustable WP chassis components also form an irresistible and perfectly tailored package that combines functionality with sportiness. For 2010, the machine is available in orange and black, black and white and plain black, as well as in a new, eye-catching camouflage green version with white frames and an overhauled multifunctional speedometer with a new dial.

KTM Super Duke (2005-current) - MCN
If all of life were like a KTM Super Duke it would be a short, barely glimpsed blur of action-packed vignettes. There is surely nothing more frenetic on two-wheels than the KTM 990 Super Duke short of sticking a nitrous kit, a jet turbine and a flame-thrower into the frame of a fold-up bicycle.
