KTM 990 Super Duke R 2008

Powerful engine

plenty of power

positive handling

sophisticated design

adjustment options

braking system.

Chassis is not suitable for beginners

Riding fast is possible, but exhausting. The high handlebars are counterproductive on the race track and require a lot of physical effort. The MT-09 can't keep up with the Street Triple R, even with WP suspension.

Powerful engine with plenty of torque

Fine control of traction control

No blipper function

High handlebars give little feedback

Rough throttle response

Early-regulating ABS
