That is a wicked cool looking bike. Ive never owned a KTM, but hear good things about them. The 990 is just as cool if not better looking. Just dont know if I would sink 14 grand into it though

Can't say it is my style of machine, kinda looks like a dirt bike turned street bike in my opinion.

that being said, that is a good looking naked bike. interesting how they tucked the fuel tank under the pillion seat.

looks like it has a lot of solid parts to it, big brembo brakes in the front... wish i had some of them on my savage!

Always wanted a "Duke" but I'm vertically challenged. Dual purpose bikes are pretty much off limits for me. Great machine for someone tall enough to touch the ground.

Oh! :o Very nice. 990 superduke is also great. You're right spacepirat - these are motards, dirt bikes with sport bike tires and a size or 2 smaller front wheel. Made for urban fun. Whatever that means.
