Click here for an VINData Motorcycle History Report on this 2009 KTM 990 Super Duke R.
Cycle World calls the 990 Super Duke one of the “Best Used Bikes”: “On the open road, the Super Duke is a pleasant all-around ride. But on a backroad, it’s naked-bike excitement at its best.”
But this bike is even better, as it’s the “R” model – a $1,200 upgrade that came with several upgrades: a monoposto seat, more aggressive steering head angle, upgraded cooling system, NiChrome coated forks and shock, taller rear suspension, a steering damper, and orange frame.
The R-spec motor had serious upgrades: larger titanium valves, smaller crankshaft for quicker revs, increased compression ratio, lighter rods, upgraded heads/cams, and larger throttle bodies from the RC8.
Other “R” components include Akrapovic headers…
A billet top triple…
And KTM axle sliders and swingarm spools.
This example is VIN: VBKVD94048M949465. The seller purchased the bike two years ago and states, “Bought this from a well-known collector in the state of Ohio. Sadly, he passed away and I ended up with eight of his motorcycles. He was an instructor at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and was meticulous with his bikes and set up of his motorcycles. Have a full notebook of suspension notes as well. Happy to be a care taker. This bike is very fast and has no issues other than tires have aged out.”
