Any of you have any thoughts on a KTM 990 Super Duke or the 690 Supermoto?

Stopped by my old Western Auto today to pick up a few things and they had a KTM 990 Super Duke sitting in the back.  Solid black.  It looked way cool.  But I have never heard of them before.  I have zilch for experience with a KTM.  They also had a KTM 990 Adventure.  Way too tall for me, but pretty cool looking as well.  What are your thoughts?

We sell em here at our dealership. They look very cool... I like the 690.. mainly because its the cheapest... If you call 10K cheap



I have sold 6 of them so far this year

How are they as far as reliability?

One of the bike mags (Motorcyclist maybe?) named the 990 'duke its 2007 motorcycle of the year.  I think they're awesome, but way too expensive IMO.

They're german, whadda ya want?  I wouldn't mind an RC8, though.

So far none have been back for anything other than service.... One thing I do know about KTM is not only are their bikes more than most brands but their parts ALL PARTS are about double the cost of other brands.. example.. Brake pads for a CRF250 = $28.99 KTM200 = $44.99

They are a bit expensive to both buy and own... but man that white 690 looks sweet

Maybe when I find a sugar momma that my wife likes, then I'll get one.....

I saw a Super Duke in the wild a couple weeks ago.  I was staring some   I was surprised, someone in this town has some taste, unlike all the sheeple on their race replicas (no offense to anyone with an rr)

I'd buy a duc over a duke any day.  The ktm crap is so expensive to maintain, buy, and every aspect of money that comes with it.  Also from everyone I talk to locally, if you fart on them wrong they break down.
