The KTM 990 Super Duke R is one of those motorcycles that is designed to give you exhilarating rides and to create indelible memories for its owners.

A KTM owners' meetup. I loved seeing so many orange bikes in one place and sharing stories with other folks into bikes.

@preeti-yad · Answer

It was a rainy ride, believe it or not. It was so planted and confidence inspiring in less than ideal conditions on the bike.

@rahul-kuma · Answer

The first time I opened it up was on an empty highway. The surge of power and the sound of it... pure adrenaline.

@reena-yada · Answer

A ride with my dad (a lifelong Harley guy). It was priceless to see his grin after.

@kunal-vikr · Answer

I rode it back to back with a friend's Ducati Monster. Two totally different takes on the naked bike.

@divya-gupt · Answer

This is the day I almost highsided it. It’s scary as hell, but also a reminder of how raw and engaging the bike can be.

@kuldeep-te · Answer

Bunch of modern bikes on group ride. A blast keeping up with them (and sometimes leading) on my "old" 990.

@sana-ifran · Answer

I mean, I guess just commute through the city honestly. It's so much fun to have the torque and agility even in mundane traffic.

@kuldeep-te · Answer

First track day on the 990. I was very surprised at how capable the bike was even compared to dedicated sport bikes.

@vibhu-goel · Answer

I took mine on a solo trip through the Alps. I remember how it carved through those mountain passes.
