What you get
Almost twenty years ago the KTM RC8 showed that KTM could adrenalize riding on asphalt as well as offroad. Since then the journey to a next-gen, track focused, performance-orientated Supersport motorcycle for the street has led to this: the KTM 990 RC R. Primed to lay rubber on any apex thanks to precision and specific high-grade parts but also shift that sporty character to the practicality of the public road, the KTM 990 RC R is the definitive KTM expression of intent and engineering. Born, bred and built in Austria: do they come any more READY TO RACE?
