New 990 Supermoto from KTM


KTM, the Austrian firm, has updated the 950 with the big-bore 990 supermoto. The 990 was launched at the Birmingham show.

The 990SM Supermoto is the larger capacity fuel-injected version of the 950SM Supermoto that was known to be quite some fun. We can only expect the 990SM to better it.

The latest bike now has the same class-leading powerplant as found on the Super Duke, and if it's anything like the 950, it will be even more insane than the Super Duke. The 999cc 75-degreee V-twin motor puts out a claimed 114bhp, and it has a meaty 71.5 lbf ft of torque. The bike also has a better riding positionand best of all, the fuel tank is much bigger than before. At 19 litres, the SM will now have a more useful range.

Heres a video of the bike release:
