General information and overview
The 2012 KTM 690 Supermoto captivates me with its 654cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, 6-speed gearbox, and supermoto stance optimized for India's diverse roads, boasting 290mm ground clearance, 139.5kg kerb weight, and 12-litre tank for agile urban darts and rugged escapes. WP suspension shines with 275mm front travel and adjustable rear, paired to 300mm front and 240mm rear disc brakes on alloy wheels with tubeless tyres, while analogue speedometer keeps it pure. Discontinued post-₹7.80 lakh ex-showroom, it excels in cornering prowess and overtaking ease, though parts hunting adds upkeep—perfect for my buying call if I seek a lightweight off-roader blending track precision with street versatility in India's chaotic traffic and monsoons.

The 2012 KTM 690 Supermoto, tailored for India's demanding roads, packs a punchy 654cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with 102mm bore and 80mm stroke, paired to a slick 6-speed gearbox for explosive acceleration and top-end pull ideal for overtaking on NH44 or carving Kerala hills. Weighing a featherlight 139.5kg with 290mm ground clearance and 1480mm wheelbase, it boasts supermoto agility via WP 275mm front forks and 265mm rear monoshock, making it perfect for light off-roading in Goa beaches or urban wheelies. Braking is sharp with 300mm front and 240mm rear single discs on tubeless alloys, while the 12-litre tank and analogue console keep it simple; discontinued in India at ₹7.8 lakh ex-showroom, I see it as a used buyer's dream for its reliability, minimal vibes, and track-day prowess, though maintenance at KTM dealers in major cities is essential—ultimately, it's built for pure riding joy in diverse terrains, helping you decide if its raw edge fits your adrenaline-fueled lifestyle over plush touring comfort.

Our Verdict
Expert opinion and recommendation
I find the 2012 KTM 690 Supermoto a thrilling off-road beast tailored for India's demanding terrains, delivering explosive power from its 654cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that propels me effortlessly through city traffic and twisty ghat roads with unmatched agility. Its supermoto geometry and high-quality WP suspension—275mm front USD forks and 265mm rear monoshock—offer precise cornering and a 290mm ground clearance perfect for pothole-ridden highways and rural tracks, while the lightweight 139.5kg kerb weight makes it flickable and fun for daily commutes or weekend adventures. Single disc brakes (300mm front, 240mm rear) provide sharp stopping power, and the 12-litre tank suits moderate Indian rides, though its discontinued status means I hunt pre-owned units for that raw V-twin-like snap in a single-cylinder package. In India, it shines for enthusiasts craving track-day thrills on public roads, but demands skilled handling due to its aggressive stance—ideal if I prioritize adrenaline over practicality, making it a buy for riders ready to invest in maintenance for enduring passion.

I find the 2012 KTM 690 Supermoto a thrilling choice for Indian riders craving raw supermoto excitement on twisty roads and light off-road trails, delivering explosive 654cc single-cylinder power with liquid cooling and a 6-speed gearbox that makes overtaking effortless and cornering razor-sharp thanks to its agile geometry, WP USD front suspension with 275mm travel, and monoshock rear. At just 139.5kg kerb weight and 290mm ground clearance, it handles India's bumpy highways and urban chaos with unmatched flickability, while the 300mm front and 240mm rear disc brakes provide confident stopping power on tubeless alloy wheels. Though discontinued, I recommend hunting pre-owned examples for their durability and low maintenance if you're after adrenaline over comfort—its 12-litre tank suits shorter blasts, and in India's diverse terrain from Rajasthan dunes to Ghats, it shines for skilled pilots willing to embrace its track-focused vibe over daily commuting practicality, making it a buy for enthusiasts prioritizing fun and agility in a lightweight package that punches above its weight.

The 2012 KTM 990 Supermoto features a fuel-injected V-twin engine, which is the same motor used in the Super Duke and Adventure models but with a power output that sits midway between the two. This engine provides an increase of 17bhp over its predecessor, making it more responsive and spirited throughout the rev range. I think this boost in power makes the bike a lot more fun to ride, especially for performance enthusiasts.

Mileage
Fuel efficiency information
I get around 18-22 kmpl on the 2012 KTM 690 Supermoto in Indian conditions, dipping to 15 kmpl in aggressive city or off-road use but stretching to 25 kmpl on steady highways. Running costs suit enthusiasts at ₹120-150 per 100km on premium fuel, making it viable if I prioritize thrills over efficiency—buy if mileage isn't my top concern.
December 12, 2025
I estimate the 2012 KTM 690 Supermoto at 18-22 kmpl in Indian conditions, dropping to 15 kmpl on aggressive rides or highways, with city averages around 20 kmpl given its 654cc thirst—running costs suit weekend warriors at ₹2-3/km on ₹100/litre fuel, but skip it if daily commuting is key; opt for used if thrill outweighs efficiency.
