Basic information and history

The KTM 990 Super Duke was introduced in 2005 and was the starting point for the brand's street-focused LC8 models. The combination of a compact steel trellis frame, liquid-cooled 999cc V-twin engine and WP chassis technology provided a direct and mechanical experience with a clear focus on cornering stability and responsiveness. Brembo brakes and fuel injection contribute to a precise character that is appreciated by riders who prioritize feel and control.

This example of the KTM 990 Super Duke has only 3362 kilometers on the odometer.

Modifications and improvements

Sebring muffler is fitted according to the seller (the stock mufflers have been kept). Otherwise the motorcycle is completely stock.

Condition

Body and exterior condition The seller reports a crack in the right side cover. The chrome, headlight lenses and emblems are described as very good.

Controls and instruments Steering wheel, controls and buttons are reported to be in good condition.

Tires and rims The tires are relatively new according to the seller. 

Mechanics and function Engine is described as very good. Brakes are stated to be very good. Gearbox and driveline are considered good by the seller. Given the time since the last oil change, time-based maintenance may be appropriate before hard driving.

Service history

The oil change was done about five years ago according to the seller. Otherwise, there is not much history or receipts available. The odometer reading can be guaranteed according to the seller, but further documentation of service intervals is missing in the documentation. The buyer should expect an oil and filter check and a change of brake fluid and coolant based on time rather than mileage.

Summary

Here you have an almost untouched KTM 990 Super Duke that has only been ridden 3362 km in 21 years. Extra equipped with Sebring muffler. Noted is the crack in the right side cover, otherwise the headlight lens and emblem are described as very good. Mechanically, the engine and brakes are stated to be in very good condition, with the gearbox and driveline assessed as good. The service history is limited and the last oil change was stated to have been done about five years ago. An interesting example for those looking for an early Super Duke with short mileage and a focus on driving feel.
