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."

About www.motorcyclists-online.com English version:
At the beginning, in 2001, www.motorcyclists-online.com was an exclusive French Motorcycle website. Now, since September 2005, it has become bilingual: English speaking people are welcome !
We do believe, at www.motorcyclists-online.com, that linguistic boundaries are not a problem when we share the same passion for bikes.
We are currently working on translating all articles and contents, to finish the UK/US version. You will certainly notice some bugs or translation errors: please do not hesitate to advise us by e-mail, Private Message or by posting in the Forum. Your help is welcome !
For the moment, articles which haven’t been human translated are automatically machine translated, which I must confess is not really famous, but faster than human translators.
