Miles: 13,000
Second Owner
Clean California Title
Listed Price: $5,000

Historically known as a maker of off-road motorcycles, it’s a shame that KTM hasn’t made more fully-faired sportbikes, because the original RC8 R was a pretty impressive machine. But it does make sense that they’ve always invested more in bikes like this KTM Super Duke 990, the first “super hooligan” powered by their 999cc 75° liquid-cooled, 8-valve v-twin engine producing a claimed 120hp that moved the company from dirt bike based supermoto machines like the original Duke II into much more “serious” multi-cylinder sporting motorcycles. That new engine and six-speed gearbox package was hung from a steel trellis frame with adjustable WP suspension and Brembo brakes at both ends. Introduced in 2005, the bike was updated with radial-mounted brakes, increased fuel capacity, and revised bodywork for the 2007 model seen here. It’s light, at a claimed 405lbs, agile, and powerful, with reasonable street ergonomics. What more could you ask for from a sports motorcycle?

The main issue with the KTM Super Duke 990 in today’s market is that it’s largely overshadowed by the stonking Super Duke R that followed it, with its wild 1300cc engine and even more distinctive looks. But the 990 is no slouch and these can only be considered “slow” because 200hp hypernakeds are the norm in today’s world. With 120hp on tap and weighing in at just over 400lbs wet, the 990 was considered pretty mental when it was new. It’s also worth noting the complete lack of rider aids, compared to the first generation R that had a full suite of traction control and anti-wheelie systems that reset every time you turned the bike on… This example looks dead stock, has reasonable miles, and seems to offer a lot of entertainment for the $5,000 being asked.
