Ktm Supermoto 990
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.
De KTM 990 Supermoto werd in 2007 geïntroduceerd als een straatlegale supermoto-afgeleide van het op avontuur gerichte 990 Super Duke-platform, met KTM's LC8 V-twin-motor in een lichtgewicht supermoto-chassis met 17-inch wielen. Hij werd tot ongeveer 2012 geproduceerd en stond erom bekend dat hij serieuze supermoto-prestaties met grote cilinderinhoud naar de straat bracht, wat aantrekkelijk was voor rijders die een agressieve rijdynamiek in de stad wilden met echte capaciteiten op de snelweg. Hij onderscheidde zich in de markt door een combinatie van een 999 cc tweecilindermotor met hoog koppel en supermoto-ergonomie, waardoor het een van de krachtigste productiesupermoto's was die op dat moment verkrijgbaar was.

Wat kopers moeten weten
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.
Generaties en specificaties per jaar

"Gekke supermoto-energie zit nauwelijks in wegkleding."
KTM heeft hun LC8-avonturenmotor in een supermoto-chassis gemonteerd en op de een of andere manier iets gemaakt dat tegelijkertijd te veel en precies goed aanvoelt. De 999cc V-twin trekt niet alleen — hij duwt je met een mechanische urgentie naar voren waardoor sportfietsen beleefd aanvoelen, en die enkelzijdige achterbrug ziet er echt dreigend uit als je hurkt bij verkeerslichten. Betrouwbaarheid was de donkere wolk: vroege voorbeelden waren klepvullingen, liepen heet op bij stopverkeer, en de elektriciteit had het temperament van een mokkende Oostenrijkse oom. Maar toen de weg zich opende en je de LC8 voorbij 5.000 tpm liet ademen, was het hele belachelijke pakket opeens volkomen logisch.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"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.
