Latest KTM 990 RC R Spyshots Reveal Almost Ready Bike

The latest KTM 990 RC R spyshots reveal an almost production ready bike.

The photos were revealed in MCN, showing the all-black prototype being put through its paces on the road. These are the latest pictures adding to a prototype being wrung on a racetrack in May.

It will be available in two versions, one track-exclusive and another for a standard road-ready variant. The latter is said to be arriving in the second quarter of 2025.

Its engine will be the current 947cc LC8c twin-cylinder unit in the 990 Duke which produces 126.2hp and 103.1Nm.

The frame may be the very same as the 990 Duke, or similar, or even new altogether to cater for a full-on sportbike riding characteristic. But the riding position shown in the pictures show similar to that of the 900 Duke, albeit with lower clip-ons.

Other details include WP suspension and radial mounted four piston calipers. Its fairing has winglets up top and another pair down low to promote laminar flow.

Wahid's lust for motorcycles was spurred on by his late-Dad's love for his Lambretta on which he courted, married his mother, and took baby Wahid riding on it. He has since worked in the motorcycle and automotive industry for many years, before taking up riding courses and testing many, many motorcycles since becoming a motojournalist. Wahid likes to see things differently. What can you say about a guy who sees a road safety message in AC/DC's "Highway to Hell."
