2008 will be for sure the supermoto year, and the new KTM 990 Supermoto doesn't miss anything to be a best seller:
- the compact LC8 engine weighs only 58 kg, making it the lightest Twin in the 1,000 cc class.
- the chromium-molybdenum frame weight is only 11 kg.
- The short 1,510 mm wheelbase together with the radical 64.6° steering head angle guarantees an extremely sporty riding experience.
- The finely tuned White Power chassis is as convincing on country roads as it is on the motorway.
KTM says: "The KTM 990 Supermoto feels as light as a single cylinder and goes like the devil."
