2012 KTM 990 Super Duke R

2012 KTM 990 Super Duke R
2012 KTM 990 Super Duke R - The ultimate KTM hooligan bike received only slight modifications for the year 2012 edition. But, although small, one of those changes completely changed the caracter of the KTM 990 Super Duke R. In previous edition this street attack machine was strictly for one person, but now it can transport two! Double seat and added footrest now allow the passenger to carve those backroads with you.
2012 KTM 990 Super Duke R still runs the well-known V2 engine, but now the power has been reduced from 132 hp to 125 hp. Rated at a plentiful 125hp, the newly homologated LC8 V-twin engine delivers a solid punch and incomparable liveliness. The sharper trellis frame makes for maximum agility with its sporting “R” geometry and only nine kilograms of weight. The special “R” chassis ensures a high-resolution feedback about the road surface with its precisely adjustable WP steering damper and top quality suspension components. The 2012 KTM 990 Super Duke R will go on sale across international markets in February.
