Estoril Portugal 15-05-2021 trackday with my KTM 990 SMT racing with a lot of superbikes.

Incredible riding. The SMT is an absolute weapon.

[@zluca05]

That was fantastic, and was enjoyable to watch, I wish I could ride my SMT like that.

Then you would probably have to change your engine oftener 😂😂

Hats off to the ktm over takingsports bikes, with such amazing stability balance, & at speed around the bends..

Nice riding

[@ricardocandeias9554]

Boa condução! ainda com os sport attack 4?

[@psyfinger]

Nesta foram os Raceattack 2 Street

[@ricardocandeias9554]

@@psyfinger Obrigado pela resposta! Estou indeciso entre os 2, para uma superduke 990. Nao pretendo fazer trackdays por enquanto, mas queria o pneu que mais agarrasse à estrada. Achas que vale a pena meter os raceattack?

[@psyfinger]

@@ricardocandeias9554 nao, os sport chegam muito bem. Os Race demoram mais a aquecer Mas se não houver stock opta pelos race

[@psyfinger]

@@ricardocandeias9554 tou a vender o par ainda com muito para andar. Ta no olx ;)

[@bpowa]

Did the rear or front lost grip at the end? What was the temperature that day?

[@psyfinger]

No grip loss. 28°C. Continental Raceattack 2 street

[@bpowa]

@@psyfinger What caused you to fly off the track? Death wobble?

[@psyfinger]

@@bpowa rear suspension bad adjustment and tyre pressure

[@goose9246]

@@bpowa broke one of the core rules; he added throttle and lean angle. Total rider error

[@ronanrogers4127]

@@goose9246my KTM would eat that up, the lean sensitive cornering ABS and traction control, plus slipper clutch have absolutely no problems with that riding style, but it’s a later Gen than the SMT

Wow !

Honestly ktm needs to bring this bike back with the 1050 lc8. Even the 1090 adventure is a bit big and is not even being produced anymore, and the 890 adventure is the ugliest thing ever and has a 21 inch front wheel. You could slap 17" wheels on either 890 adventures but they already are fairly pricey and if you do, rider aids have a freakout and deactivate. Anyway, this is one of my dream bikes and one of the most underappreciated motorbike concepts.

[@psyfinger]

Ktm 890 smt was announced last year but is not the same. Like you said, a 1050 smt lc8 engine would be perfect.
