Ktm Super Duke 990
The Ktm Super Duke 990 has a top speed of 230 km/h, produces 118 hp and weighs 189 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.
KTM 990 Super Duke был представлен в 2005 году как неприкрытый стритфайтер, построенный на V-образном двигателе KTM LC8. Он получил прозвище «Чудовище» за агрессивную мощность и радикальный дизайн. В его развитие было внесено несколько обновлений, включая версию R в 2007 году, в которой была модернизирована подвеска WP и улучшены компоненты. Модель 990 Super Duke выпускалась до 2013 года, укрепив репутацию одного из самых оригинальных и интересных голых мотоциклов своей эпохи, а затем ему на смену пришла модель 1290 Super Duke R.

Что следует знать покупателям
LC8 Engine Quirks
The 999cc LC8 V-twin is a powerful but maintenance-intensive motor — valve clearances should be checked every 15,000 km and are often neglected by previous owners. Always verify service history before buying.
Watch the Throttle Bodies
A known issue on the 990 Super Duke is throttle body synchronization going out of tune, causing rough idle and uneven power delivery. It's a cheap fix but commonly overlooked, so budget for a tune-up.
Strong Resale Value
The 990 Super Duke holds its value surprisingly well due to its cult following and reputation as a raw, engaging naked bike. Well-maintained examples remain in demand even 10+ years after production ended.
Поколения и характеристики по годам
Оригинальный V-образный профиль LC8 объемом 999 куб. см, решетчатая рама, стиль «супермото» в обнаженном виде; по мере выпуска небольшие обновления.
"Самый злой голый велосипед в истории Австрии."
Этот V-образный двигатель LC8 не просто тянет — он рычит, плюет и вытаскивает предплечья из гнезд со скоростью от 4000 до 7500 об/мин, чего никогда не сможет сделать ни один рядный четырехцилиндровый двигатель. Я ездил на нем два года каждый день, а по выходным дням ездил по каньонам, а шасси на шпалерах настолько прямолинейное, что оно граничит с телепатическим — просто нажмите на него, и все готово. Есть и слабые стороны: бетон сиденья превращается в бетон примерно через 90 минут, заправка на ранних моделях до тех пор, пока вы не настроите машину на другую настройку, а для надежности необходимо внимательно следить за корпусами дроссельной заслонки и темпераментным переключателем на боковой стойке. Кроме того, при скорости 130 км/ч ваши зеркала становятся бесполезными, но, честно говоря, при скорости 130 км/ч на Super Duke вы слишком заняты, ухмыляясь, чтобы проверить их.

Отзыв покупателя б/у
"A flawed, thrilling machine that rewards the diligent buyer handsomely."
$4,500-$8,500 usedThe 990 Super Duke is the motorcycle that either converts you or terrifies you within the first mile. That LC8 V-twin is an absolute animal — raw, torquey, and completely unfiltered in a way modern bikes simply aren't anymore. KTM built something genuinely special here, and the used market knows it. Prices have actually crept back up as people realize what they had. Buy one right and it'll reward you endlessly. Buy one wrong and you're funding someone else's neglect. These bikes attracted riders who rode hard and occasionally maintained soft. Check the frame for stress cracks around the headstock, inspect the WP suspension for leaks, and verify the throttle bodies have been synced recently. The subframe bolts love to work loose. Coolant hoses crack with age. None of it is catastrophic if you know going in. Above all, get a pre-purchase inspection. A good one costs $150 and could save you $2,000. The 990 is worth owning — just own a healthy one.
