Here we give you the little sporty gem from KTM in 2009 – the 990 SM R.
It will be the fastest motorcycle in the supermotard segment with 115hp and an incredibly light weight at only 58kg for the engine.
The bike features Marchesini wheels, contributing to its agility and light weight, and has four-piston Brembo monobloc calipers.
The look of the bike has also been particularly nurtured, with attention to detail, for example the carbon thermal protection, making this a particularly attractice set of wheels.
After the jump we give you some of the technical details of this bike, along with a KTM 990 Supermoto R gallery from the Eicma show in Milan.
