NEVER STOP! KTM 990 RC R Development, Chapter 3 - The Final Product | KTM

[@clubstyleridahd4695]

Make it reliable and stand behind the warranty and so many more will ride KTM.

[@stfuliberal]

100% agree, seems like every month I have some electronic glitch on my 2023 1290 superduke. Pain in the ass.

[@souravmj8667]

then you cannot afford it

[@stevescourou8006]

@@souravmj8667 What a stupid take. Wanting reliability and good aftersales has nothing to do with affordability.

[@dougiequick1]

@@stevescourou8006 RIGHT! My guess is KTM will continue to lack in this hope/want. IDK if they can get enough market share to cover expense of development and backing of a truly wonderful and reliable model at a competitive price....here is hoping though! I did own a 2020 KTM for not very many miles I did not trust it and sure enough it let me down via the strange material used to make fuel tank/subframe which cracked wide open...luckily it had to be be covered because part of smog but how can I trust it after that? Fuel leaking onto rear tire is overly worrisome sorry.....what other things has this company gambled on?

Συγχαρητήρια KTM τα κατάφερες και έδειξες όλα τα μέρη εξέλιξης του 990 RC R όπου κανένας από τους μεγάλους ανταγωνιστές δεν τα δείχνει πως έγινε. Είναι ένα πολύ προσηλωμένο σχέδιο μοντέλου φαίνεται από την οδηγική του συμπεριφορά. Έχει γίνει απίστευτα πολύ σκληρή δουλειά για να είναι σε τέτοιο επίπεδο!! 🧡🧡

[@layzmotor]

now the bike are ready to race!

[@hyprmetlfan123]

One of the best designed motorcycle in my opinion

[@Pmason718]

I’m blessed to own the 1190 RC8R, 1290 SDGT and a Duke 200

[@Ktmrandy1997]

Im jealous of you..... I am very happy with my 1290 SAR though....

[@ther1kid]

Very excited for this one. This clearly looks to be the best / most focused in class. I put my order in at the dealer.

[@TheSleepieKing]

Absolutely stunning bike. Well done, KTM.

[@BeardedBiker69]

I am EXTREMELY excited to see and even try this bike and get my hands on it! What a beautiful machine. Probably one of the if not THE BEST Supersport esk bike of the year!

[@Skinny_vlog]

Can't wait this beast launch in my country... gonna work hard to get this

[@abhinav_bammidi]

The only motorcycle that takes the phrase “The Next Generation Motorcycle” to a whole different level. I know there a lot of motorcycles out there that are more powerful and better in all cases, even reliable. But this, This motorcycle is something else. I have seen a lot of motorcycles, ridden a bunch, but I have never seen anything like the 990 RC R. And I love it.

[@themotorcyclist9145]

Would love see this bike with the 1390 engine! Hope you guys make the RC1390 R a reality in the near future🤞🏽

[@RobertJones-pm3zk]

Seems like he alluded something at the end that this is the future then some drawings and a bike under wraps: perhaps a 1390 super bike rhat would be fantastic My other thought is they are v4 in motoGP they should introduce an v4!

[@themotorcyclist9145]

@RobertJones-pm3zk A RC1390 R would be a stunning machine and the only V2 superbike! Lets hope they do make a KTM superbike in the near future🤞🏽

[@nuurushean9895]

@@RobertJones-pm3zk The twin engine is the only thing holding me back at this point, I've got a 1290 R already. My ideal next bike would be a V4 so here's hoping KTM pulls through. Transfer V4 tech from MotoGP, would be fitting with the brand. 990RR, V4 litre bike would be bloody beautiful.

[@JojoJoget]

Short stroke vtwins have terrible torque curves for the road.

[@iamthemobey]

@@RobertJones-pm3zkive got a tuono v4 but I'd trade it in for a v4 sdr in a heartbeat

Now it is the time to new era began of KTM.🔥💫 Hope so, ktm will also launch the v4 beast too with ❝Ready To Race❞ tagline in litre class segment. We look forward to it.❤✨

[@TubedTalk]

Had all sorts of bike during my life. Had even 2-stroke Cagiva Mito when I was 16 years old. Had a Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha, and a Harley. Recently I got a KTM Duke. That bike left me breathless, so easy to drive, so powerful. Just pure joy to ride. And yes, my next bike will again be KTM.

[@motozz8258]

Then you woke up ! Why would you buy a Harley , thats embarrassing.

[@ogasi1798]

amazing to see KTM back to this level of bike - the journey has been mouth watering, thankyou for bringing us along

[@srinivasansrini2589]

Wait for 1390 RC

[@ncjsgrki]

Considering that all brands are downsizing all the superbikes, I don't think that would happened, but we can dream. I have a RC8R with suspension, brakes, engine and electronics of a 1290 Super Duke R and it is a beast.

[@dibnah46]

I think the 44 teeth guys said they tried it and it was unusable.

[@adam-wwa]

It doesn't make sense, I bet we have to wait for V4 engine, which I suppose is not that far away.

[@mehdyozier-lafontaine648]

If only

[@adam-wwa]

@@mehdyozier-lafontaine648 Cfmoto just presented over 200hp V4, considering their connection with KTM I hope it will be shared engine

[@berliozii590]

Ya 390 is ugly af, why don't they make it cool like this

[@TJTravelingteacher]

@berliozii590 yes... if they make it like this.. it's going to blow the market in this segment.

I so was about to make a down payment for a litre class motorcycle with a wish in my heart, that to see a RC version of the KTM super sport and here I stumbled upon this news that its coming. Like a small kid I was looking for an RC version in the launch of KTM bikes here in India that had the adventure sports and motorcross lined up, however none were such a delight than to know that RCR KTM 990 is making a come back. I request to launch it within an year in India and I'll be one of the happy customer.

[@ahmadnaiem7]

the way Stefano Branca speaks should be the way of how top management speaks, a division specialised in product, market and business strategic development. If you wanna build a KTM, build a proper KTM. Kudos for finding the right spot between track and street. Perhaps in another 3 ~ 5 years ahead, we can see 490/590 in the market

[@sourlikealime]

ill wait for the 1190 🤞

[@Raptor4J]

Yep. Twins are getting ready to race at the world stage.

[@Yippeedee]

A full sized V4 street legal one will be great.

[@ryanparker7214]

Please could you consider the following: 1. The KTM logo in White to stand out on the orange. 2. Frame work spayed orange like the RC390. 3. The logo RC390 to be larger its too small. 4. Bring out a Single swing arm as an option. 5. Concealed exhaust would look sick and reduce weight and bulk.

[@TheOliveradams]

Having a 2015 Superduke 1290R a 2022 Duke 390 and a 2023 Duke 890R it's clear that I'm a big fan but the slogan "Ready to Race" is not accurate , I use my Duke 890R to race but I had to spend a lot of money to make it "Ready to Race" : Tech pack for Track mode and quick shifter , powerparts footpegs ,tripple clamp , air filter , akrapovic race line and lot's of carbon parts to make it really "Ready to Race" .

[@constantinosschinas4503]

Ready to race was the slogan of Husaberg, before it was acquired by KTM. In the case of Husaberg, they meant it. KTM did not like the slogan but many years later they adopted it.

[@ehiggins7476]

Sounds like any other sports bike you buy off the showroom floor. All need upgrades to make them track perfect. Stock they’re still a lot of fun

[@93Martin]

Hopefully the track version is truly "ready to race". They have every opportunity to make it a turnkey track weapon. The only problem I can see is that if the track model is not homologated, we'll be forced to buy the road version and buy all the kit pieces in order to be eligible for most classes of racing. That would kind of defeat the purpose except for the dedicated track day riders.

[@jxparra2]

If the zebra livery was a 3rd option besides black and orange, I'd buy it in a blink of an eye.

[@drdpetizo]

It's going to look great next to my 1290GT!

[@maximilian8011]

The main question will be if KTM will run a campaign where people can test the bike on track … I’m coming from a 636 and would be very interested into the 990. But to really compare them it would be necessary to put the 990 on track…

[@themok3rify]
