Pros and Cons in comparison

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

KTM 990 Supermoto T 2011

There are a few parts suitable for touring and an ABS on the KTM, but the fun is in every cell. You can't describe it like the shape of a headlight mask or the technical structure of an ABS system. It will probably remain a mystery forever how KTM builds such motorbikes and we will never find out why they are so much fun.

Powerful engine

ABS

improved seat

optimal chassis

positive riding experience.

Small windscreen.
