A 2006 standard 990 Super Duke, KTM's first road-going naked bike. It keeps the 999 cc V-twin and trellis frame with fully adjustable WP suspension and large brakes. Reviewers on the page praised its suspension, handling and braking, and noted that the gearbox could false-neutral or miss 3rd-to-4th shifts. Its torquey, manageable engine was the main draw.
