KTM 990 Super Duke R

For me the strength in 2012 was riding a motorcycle, different variants have been shown by KTM, such as the 990 Super Duke R.
The 990 Super Duke R With its muscle-flexing V2 and perfectly controllable power, it can be regarded as the ultimate scourge of the superbikes - and now theres room for two! Its equally manoeuvrable and precise chassis is equipped with the most exclusive components - from the CNC-machined triple clamp to the steering damper or coated fork tubes.
