Motorcycle specifications KTMSUPERDUKE 990 2012 Urban riot

As Oli Le Belge pointed out not so long ago, it's impossible to be discreet when riding a Superduke. In fact, that's the Superduke's primary mission, both in spirit and design - Streetfighter through and through, with an added layer of virility since 2007.

oK, the identity is preserved and it looks very much like the first model. In fact, it would be hard to call the evolution spectacular, since the original pencil strokes are so in-your-face. Take a closer look and pay close attention: new front mudguards, subtly redesigned sides in a brighter orange, a more "trendy" rear light, larger rear-view mirrors... in short, a few trifles. But it's the least obvious changes that are the most important.
First of all, there's an extra 4 liters in the fuel tank, so you'll be able to have fun for much longer than with the original 15 litres. Then there's the ganache: a subtly revised fork head, meaner, sharper, equipped with a mini deflector (effectiveness close to a laughing fit) and, above all, containing a real dashboard. Bye-bye to the bike's speedometer, complete with bonux tachometer - the new 990 SuperDuke inherits a more attractive, easier-to-read, less "offbeat" and much nicer multi-function instrument panel.

Underneath, Superbike-style braking is the order of the day. The 48mm-diameter WP fork is fitted with radial calipers, each with 4 independent pads. Inside, 320 mm of braking track... If you're looking for something better, it's Ducat's new 1098 monobloc calipers.

as we've just seen, more fun for the Katoche terror of the streets. A seemingly casual attitude which, however, hides the beginnings of wisdom. Like all the others, Miss SuperDuke has had to comply with Euro 3 and is becoming cleaner... and less radical, with its geometry tweaked a little: more open caster angle and revised caster, more stability... Is the big Duke calming down?
When you see the profile of the sport tires and its percussion-powered look, you can't imagine yourself being discreet or calm on its handlebars for a single second!
