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.

A KTM 990 Supermoto foi lançada em 2007 como uma supermoto legal de rua, derivada da plataforma 990 Super Duke, voltada para a aventura, com o motor LC8 V-twin da KTM em um chassi leve de supermoto com rodas de 17 polegadas. Foi produzido até cerca de 2012 e se destacou por trazer um desempenho sério de supermoto de grande cilindrada para as ruas, atraindo ciclistas que queriam uma dinâmica agressiva de pilotagem urbana com capacidade genuína em rodovias. Ela se destacou no mercado por combinar um motor de dois cilindros de 999 cc de alto torque com a ergonomia de supermoto, tornando-a uma das supermotos de produção mais potentes disponíveis na época.

O que os compradores devem 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.

"A energia de uma supermoto lunática mal contida nas roupas de estrada."

A KTM pegou seu motor de aventura LC8, o amarrou em um chassi de supermoto e, de alguma forma, criou algo que parecia ao mesmo tempo demais e exatamente certo. A V-twin de 999 cc não se limita a puxar — ela empurra você para frente com uma urgência mecânica que faz com que as bicicletas esportivas pareçam educadas, e esse braço oscilante de um lado parece genuinamente ameaçador ao se agachar nos semáforos. A confiabilidade era a nuvem negra: os primeiros exemplos eram calços de válvulas, esquentavam no trânsito intermitente e a eletricidade tinha o temperamento de um tio austríaco mal-humorado. Mas quando a estrada se abriu e você deixou o LC8 respirar além de 5.000 rpm, todo o pacote ridículo de repente fez todo o sentido.

Prós

+O torque do LC8 atinge forte e cedo
+O braço oscilante de um lado parece genuinamente ameaçador
+Agilidade de Supermoto em velocidades reais de estrada
+Suspensão WP ajustada com a intenção real
+Parece absolutamente furioso sob forte aceleração

Contras

Problemas iniciais do trem de válvulas, faça um orçamento adequado
Fica perigosamente quente no trânsito
Primeiros exemplos da peste elétrica de gremlins
A altura do assento de 900 mm filtra os passageiros mais baixos
Melhor para: Hooligans que desejam ruir seriamente o motor Ignore se: Você viaja diariamente nas cidades

"Brilliant, characterful machine that demands a disciplined pre-purchase inspection."

$5,500-$9,500 used

The 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.
