KTM has made a strategic move to increase its presence in the street bike segment by announcing 6 new street models to its line up.
New to the US for 2010 are the KTM 690 Duke R, 990 SM T, 990 SM R, 1190 RC8 R, 1190 RC8 R IDM Red Bull Limited Edition and the 1190 RC8 R Akrapovic Limited Edition.
First up is the KTM 990 SM R representing KTM's ultimate large displacement Supermoto bike. According to KTM, it is as much fun on the race track as it is on the road. This model features upgraded suspension, monobloc Brembo front brakes, forged Marchesini aluminum wheels, and KTM ‘R’ optics including the orange powder-coated frame, ‘R’ graphics, and blacked out components.

The showstopper it the KTM 1190 RC8 R and its two limited editions. This 1195cc, 75º V-twin, 170hp, ‘R’ model includes a host of engine upgrades. The engineers started with super light pistons and increased the compression ratio, reworked the combustion chamber, and added adjustable camshafts. Its chassis features a revised geometry, race spec suspension and adjustable pegs, shifter, sub frame and ride height.
Excitement heightened with the two 1190 RC8 R limited edition bikes. These bikes will come in the IDM Red Bull and Akrapovic Edition. Both models come with a limited edition number plate, special edition body work, and an optional closed course race kit which includes an Akrapovic titanium exhaust system, thinner head gaskets, improved air filter and a tool for adjusting the camshafts for race specifications.
If longer rides are in your future, hop aboard the new KTM 990 SM T. This popular European Supermoto motorcycle is equipped to travel with stock Brembo brakes, detachable soft touring bags, touring windshield, 5 gallon fuel tank and a comfortable seat for extra long trips.
The KTM 690 Duke R, this 690cc displacement single-cylinder bike makes an impressive 70 HP and is equipped with all of the KTM ‘R’ model upgrades including upgraded suspension with race settings, orange powder-coated frame, carbon front fender and more.
