The Ktm Supermoto 990 has a top speed of 210 km/h, produces 113 hp and weighs 198 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
La KTM 990 Supermoto se presentó en 2007 como una supermoto legal para circular, derivada de la plataforma 990 Super Duke, orientada a la aventura, con el motor bicilíndrico en V LC8 de KTM en un chasis ligero de supermoto con ruedas de 17 pulgadas. Se fabricó hasta alrededor de 2012 y se caracterizó por llevar a la calle un gran rendimiento de supermoto de gran cilindrada, lo que atraía a los pilotos que querían una dinámica de conducción urbana agresiva con una auténtica capacidad de conducción en carretera. Se destacó en el mercado por combinar un motor bicilíndrico de 999 cc de alto par con la ergonomía de las supermotos, lo que la convirtió en una de las supermotos de producción más potentes disponibles en la época.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
LC8 Engine Quirks
The 999cc LC8 V-twin is a powerhouse but known for running hot in slow traffic — check for proper cooling system maintenance and ensure the coolant has been regularly changed. Overheating can accelerate head gasket wear.
Strong Resale Value
The 990 SMT holds its value well due to its cult following and limited production run, which ended in 2013. A well-maintained example commands a premium, making it a solid used buy if priced fairly.
Watch the Throttle Bodies
Throttle body synchronization is a common maintenance item that's often neglected, causing rough idle and poor low-speed fueling. Always ask for service history and budget for a throttle body sync if buying used.

Lanzamiento inicial: motor bicilíndrico en V LC8 de 999 cc, marco tubular de acero, suspensión WP y basculante de un solo lado.
"La loca energía de las supermotos apenas se encuentra en la ropa de carretera."
KTM cogió su motor LC8 Adventure, lo amarró al chasis de una supermoto y, de alguna manera, creó algo que a la vez parecía demasiado y exactamente correcto. La bicilíndrica en V de 999 cc no solo tira, sino que te empuja hacia adelante con una urgencia mecánica que hace que las motos deportivas parezcan educadas, y ese basculante de un solo lado parece realmente amenazador cuando estás en cuclillas en los semáforos. La fiabilidad era una nube negra: los primeros modelos se comían con cuñas de válvulas, corrían a rabiar en el tráfico y el sistema eléctrico tenía el temperamento de un tío austríaco malhumorado. Pero cuando la carretera se abrió y dejaste que la LC8 superara las 5000 rpm, de repente todo ese absurdo paquete cobró todo su sentido.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"Brilliant, characterful machine that demands a disciplined pre-purchase inspection."
$5,500-$9,500 usedThe 990 SMT is genuinely one of the most entertaining motorcycles ever bolted together, and that LC8 V-twin sounds absolutely savage at full chat. It'll rip your arms off if you're not paying attention, and the supermoto geometry makes it feel telepathic through tight corners. This thing was built when KTM still had a reputation for lunatic engineering decisions, which is both the appeal and the problem. Here's the honest bit: these bikes eat money. Budget for a fresh set of throttle bodies, check the frame for cracks around the steering head, and pray the previous owner serviced the valve clearances. Many didn't. The fuel pump is a known weak point, and the chain and sprockets on used examples are often embarrassingly worn. Expect to spend £800-1,200 sorting one out properly before you trust it on a long run. Buy the best example you can find, get a full service history, and resist anything suspiciously cheap. When it's sorted, nothing at this price point feels this alive.
