The standard 990 Super Duke, KTM's first road-going naked bike, built as a street version of its supermoto idea. Its 999 cc V-twin, trellis frame and WP suspension gave it a strong, handling-focused character that reviewers compared to Italian rivals. Accessory and custom versions with carbon parts and exhaust upgrades were also common.
