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 був представлений у 2005 році як голий вуличний винищувач, побудований навколо двигуна KTM LC8 V-twin, і отримав прізвисько «Звіра» за агресивну подачу потужності та радикальний стиль. Він розвинувся через кілька оновлень, включаючи варіант R у 2007 році, який приніс оновлення підвіски WP та вдосконалені компоненти. 990 Super Duke залишався у виробництві до 2013 року, зміцнивши свою репутацію одного з найбільш вісцеральних і захоплюючих оголених велосипедів своєї епохи, перш ніж його змінив 1290 Super Duke R.

Що повинні знати покупці
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.
Покоління та характеристики за роками
Оригінальний 999cc LC8 V-twin, шпалерна рамка, голий стиль супермото; незначні оновлення під час запуску.
"Найгнівніший голий велосипед Австрії, який коли-небудь збирала разом."
Цей LC8 V-twin не просто тягне - він ричить, плює та витягує ваші передпліччя з розеток між 4000 та 7500 об/хв таким чином, як жодна внутрішня четвірка ніколи не зробить. Я керував одним протягом двох років на щоденних поїздках і пробіжках по каньйону у вихідні дні, і шасі шпалери настільки пряме, що межує з телепатичним - рухайте його, і все піде, без дискусій. Чесні слабкі сторони: сидіння перетворюється на бетон приблизно через 90 хвилин, заправка на ранніх моделях грудкою нижче 3500 об/хв, поки ви не переплануєте його, а надійність означає стежити за корпусами дросельної заслінки та темпераментним перемикачем бічної стійки. Це також вібрує ваші дзеркала в марність вище 130 км/год, але, чесно кажучи, вище 130 км/год на Super Duke ви занадто зайняті посмішкою, щоб перевірити їх.

"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.
